Description
Petitioners seeking certiorari are Irene W. Crandall, a defendant in the suit below, and Jack W. Barrett, M.D., a defense medical expert. The issue is whether the trial court departed from the essential requirements of law when it entered discovery orders as follows: (1) Directing the independent medical examiner to comply with a subpoena of reports on patients he has prepared for defense law firms or insurance companies in the past two years on which names of patients have been whited out, and directing respondents to pay in advance $500 for reasonable costs of complying with the subpoena; (2) denying the physicians motion for protective order, and (3) denying a motion for rehearing but making clear that the $500 required to be paid in advance is a deposit toward reasonable costs to be subsequently determined. We conclude that it did, grant the petition and quash the orders without prejudice to respondents seeking alternative, less burdensome discovery tending to show the extent to which the physician performed independent medical examiner (IME) service for defense law firms and liability insurers.
