At the hearing, the defense emphasized these violations that led to the groundwork for dismissal.
Outcome
Reinforcing the effectiveness of a disciplined litigation strategy, this case highlights an important lesson that diligent tracking and enforcement of discovery obligations, even those that may appear minor, can significantly influence the course of a case and lead to strong, sometimes unexpected, results.
