Is a prerogative writ an appropriate method of review when a date has been set for discovery?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Wagner v. Superior Court, 12 Cal.App.4th 1314, 16 Cal.Rptr.2d 534 (Cal. App. 1993):
The Wagners contend the court abused its discretion in setting a discovery cutoff when no trial date had been set. The prerogative writ is an appropriate method of review when an abuse of discretion results in a denial of discovery. (Lehman v. Superior Court (1986) 179 Cal.App.3d 558, 562, 224 Cal.Rptr. 572.)
