The defendants brought a motion to compel the plaintiffs to provide further answers to undertakings and improperly refused questions during discovery in an $18 million damages claim.
The court ordered the plaintiffs to provide further answers regarding medication lists, symptoms communicated to counsel, expert reports from prior UK litigation, wheelchair funding applications, conservatory planning documents, and memoir drafts/notes.
The court found the plaintiffs' conduct in delaying discovery compliance warranted substantial indemnity costs.
