Rule 9 Discovery
Rule Text
A Generally. A party must make available for copying or furnish a legible physical or electronic copy of any relevant documents requested in writing by another party. The Regular Division discovery rules, TCR 36 through TCR 46, will apply only when the court so orders.
B Motion to Compel.
B(1) Documents. If a party is unable to obtain discoverable items within a reasonable time after requesting them in writing from another party, the moving party may request an order from the court compelling the production of those items. In its motion to compel, the moving party must specify the items it seeks to discover, provide reasons for the request, and detail its prior attempt to obtain the requested items.
B(2) Site Inspection. A party may request from the court an order compelling a site inspection. Before filing a motion to compel a site inspection, the requesting party must make a written request for a site inspection to the other party and submit a copy of the written request to the court with the motion.
C Sanctions. The court may sanction any party withholding information, including exclusion of the information from future proceedings, or any other measure the court considers appropriate.
