Discovery Abuse
Abuse of the discovery process in litigation can delay justice and add to the costs of litigation for all parties involved.
Issuing overly broad or excessive discovery requests is a tactic frequently used in litigation to wear down an adversary -– requiring extensive research and document production to respond to discovery, taking needed resources away from other activities, increasing legal costs, and extending the length of the litigation.
