What is the test for making a discovery request in a personal injury case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Scarber, F068908 (Cal. App. 2019):

Moreover, defendant failed to assert an adequate justification or make a good cause showing with respect to the records sought. (See Kling v. Superior Court (2010) 50 Cal.4th 1068, 1075.) Some of the proffered explanations, such as that involving the traffic accident furnishing a motive to frame defendant, lacked any plausibility. Others made clear the discovery requests amounted to no more than random inquiries. We know of no authority requiring a trial court to disclose information where the only purpose is to draw the factfinder's attention away from the real issues in a case.
