Non-Compliance with Procedural Deadlines and Mutual Violations
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe court considered whether a party's non-compliance with a procedural order mandating the exchange of exhibits by a specific date excused the opposing party's failure to adhere to the same deadline, particularly when the exchange was ultimately made only slightly late. The court reasoned that procedural rules and orders establishing deadlines for discovery are mandatory and cannot be disregarded unilaterally simply because the opposing party was also in non-compliance, emphasizing that one party's violation of a rule does not justify another party's parallel violation; therefore, the non-compliant party's excuse for delay, based on the adversary's similar breach, was insufficient to warrant relief from the consequences of the procedural error.
