Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
What is the California statute, rule or procedure that permits a party to a state court civil case in a different state, or a civil arbitration in a different state, to take document discovery of a California company that is a third party/nonparty to the the civil litigation or arbitration pending in the different state? Does the ability to take document discovery of the third-party California company differ significantly depending on whether the civil case in the other state is pending as an arbitration case or a state-court case? Thanks! Mike Whitticar, 571-334-2671.

The answer is going to depend on the connection of the third/non-party company to the case and the forum state. It should not matter to California if it is an arbitration or judicial case, unless that affects the enforceability of a subpoena in the forum state.
