Providing 9000 Documents Without Indicating the Specific Discovery Demands to Which the Documents Related Was Improper
The Second Department determined Supreme Court upheld the Court Referee’s determination that the plaintiff’s response to discovery demands were not adequate. Plaintiffs had provided a flash drive with 9000 documents and without any indication which of the documents related to the various demands. The Court Referee ordered the plaintiffs to “provide their discovery responses in a manner that allows the defendants ‘to know and understand’ which documents apply to their separate discovery demands.” H.P.S.
