Is a client's right to access personal information provided by their lawyer in a deposition relevant to their emotional distress claim?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Mitchell v. Superior Court of Fresno County, 152 Cal.App.3d 1212, 200 Cal.Rptr. 57 (Cal. App. 1984):
The information sought by deposition questions 1 through 4 is relevant to the genuineness of petitioner's claim for emotional distress (Molien v. Kaiser Foundation Hospitals (1980) 27 Cal.3d 916, 167 Cal.Rptr. 831, 616 P.2d 813), and is therefore an appropriate matter for discovery by the real parties in interest.
