The plaintiffs brought a motion to exclude the defendants from each other's examinations for discovery and to prevent the sharing of discovery transcripts and information among them.
The underlying action alleged fraudulent transfers of funds and land to thwart the collection of previous judgments.
Applying the Lazar principles, the court found sufficient evidence of deceit and improper conduct to justify the orders to prevent collusion and ensure the integrity of the discovery process.
The motion was granted, and the plaintiffs were awarded partial indemnity costs.
