193 So. 2d 657 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1967
Defendant seeks review by interlocutory appeal of an order entered by -the chancellor sustaining in part and overruling in part plaintiff’s objection to written interrogatories served on it by defendant.
Subsequent to the filing of the complaint herein defendant served on plaintiff nineteen written interrogatories, most of which. contain several subdivisions. Plaintiff filed its written objection to the interrogatories on the principal grounds that they are immaterial to the issues in the cause, cannot lead to evidence that is material, and are designed merely to harass plaintiff. After hearing the chancellor rendered the order appealed herein overruling plaintiff’s objection to eleven of the interrogatories, and sustaining its objection to the remainder. In addition the chancellor ordered plaintiff to produce and submit to defendant for inspection and copying all of the specified documents forming the basis of the cause of action sued upon.
It is appellant’s contention that the chancellor committed prejudicial error and abused his discretion in denying defendant access to the information and evidence requested in those interrogatories to which objection was sustained. We have reviewed the interrogatories in question and carefully considered the argument advanced by the respective parties concerning the correctness of the order appealed. In con-
The order appealed is accordingly affirmed and the interlocutory appeal dismissed.
