The applicant sought recognition and enforcement of a Florida court's letters rogatory in support of post-divorce litigation alleging fraudulent concealment of matrimonial assets through a Canadian corporation.
Applying the six guideposts governing letters rogatory enforcement, the court held the requested evidence was relevant, necessary for trial, not otherwise obtainable, sufficiently specific, and not contrary to public policy.
The court rejected most overbreadth and burden objections, but narrowed one document request by replacing “and/or” with “and” and declined to compel production of entire employment files.
The request was otherwise enforced.
