At a Commercial List case conference, the court addressed procedural issues relating to documentary production, privilege waiver, and the scheduling of discoveries.
The plaintiffs had expressed a desire to bring a motion to strike certain counterclaims, while certain defendants contemplated a motion for a further and better affidavit of documents.
The court declined to schedule those motions, directing instead that the matters be addressed through examinations for discovery and cooperative document production.
Counsel were directed to resolve production issues, exchange documents, and establish a protocol for property inspections to facilitate an expert valuation report.
