Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Virginia

Motion to compel discovery in general district court
I am a defendant in a civil case in general district court (Chesapeake VA). I have received a Bill of Particulars from the plaintiff, but the information was not complete/adequate. I sent a Request for Discovery and received a reply from the plaintiff ''quash''ing it, saying that under the VA Supreme Court rule 4.1, they did not have to send me anything I requested. I read this rule and cannot see how they can get away with this! Can I get information the plaintiff has regarding my case? Can I file a Motion to Compel Discovery in General District Court? Do I have any recourse in obtaining information from the plaintiff? Thank you.

Re: Motion to compel discovery in general district court

There is no right to discovery in General District Court. If the Bill of Particulars is truly inadequate, you can move for summary judgment.
