Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
If Plaintiff serves additional responses (that were requested) to discovery (Form & Special Interrogatories, Requests for Admissions, etc.) 4-5 days after defendant's deadline stated in their meet and confer letter, does defendant still have grounds to file Motion For Sanctions (RE: Discovery delayed responses), even though they will have their responses a few days late and there were no repercussions in litigation, because trial date has not been set yet.
1 Answer from Attorneys
I'm not sure I understand the question. I do not see a basis for sanctions, however, baised simply to the fact that the responses were served after the agreed-upon date. A motion for sanctions might lie, however, if the discovey responses did not contain the requested information -- and the fact that they were late might be viewed as a bit of an "aggravating circumstance."
