The defendant franchisor brought a motion for further documentary production from the plaintiff franchisee in an $11 million dispute over dealership construction and a competing franchise.
The defendant sought construction files, financial records of related non-party corporations, and documents from the plaintiff's accountants to assess the plaintiff's damages claims.
The court ordered the plaintiff to produce additional construction documents, disclose relevant inter-company agreements, and request the voluntary production of financial statements from related non-party corporations, with leave for the defendant to bring Rule 30.10 motions if refused.
