As the article points out, nobody actually verifies these requests.
So no, I can’t point you to such an incident. Have people been held in contempt for failing to comply fast enough? for sure.
- otterley 5y agoYou cannot conclude that because someone has been held in contempt for intentionally failing to respond to a records production request because they simply didn’t want to do it, that someone would also be held in contempt for delaying production for a few hours while they make a good-faith attempt to verify the authenticity of a request. Judges take all the facts and circumstances into account—including intent—when making these kinds of decisions, especially those that involve depriving someone of their liberty.
- rosndo 5y ago> delaying production for a few hours Ah yeah, I think you are totally right. Our disagreement stems from the fact that I don’t believe that few hours is sufficient at all.
