I wonder if Judge Kimball will threaten SCO Group with contempt. SCO has been ordered to produce these documents (twice) and now is unable/unwilling to do so.
I Am Not A Lawyer, but this sounds like grounds for summary judgement.
Excuse me while I get some popcorn for the show.
actually one potential sanction for discovery violation is to have ALL your pleadings striken (as if you never filed any papers) and then a DEFAULT entered against you.
THEN the issue becomes to the lowest standard to sustain over an appeal. Abuse of Discretion by the judge. They will have to show they somehow were not really ingnoring discovery but were never given the chance to comply.
I think all these intimidation by litigation suits must be terminated as part of tort reform.
