The plaintiff brought a motion to compel answers to numerous questions refused during examinations for discovery and to require a defendant to reattend to complete her discovery.
The action concerned alleged fraudulent transfers and corporate arrangements designed to shield assets from execution on a decades‑old judgment.
The court held that the refused questions concerning financial records, intercompany transactions, and asset transfers were relevant to tracing assets and determining whether corporate entities were the alter ego of the original judgment debtor.
The court also rejected renewed attempts to avoid oral discovery on medical grounds, finding the evidence insufficient and noting repeated procedural breaches by the defendants.
The motion was granted with costs and the defendant was ordered to complete discovery within specified timelines.
