Judicial Survey Questions
Return To PreviousDLC Q13: Under what circumstances would you consider a bifurcation of discovery?
DLC A13: Bifurcation of discovery is appropriate where there is, objectively speaking, a genuine question as to liability, or as to whether the plaintiff has identified the correct entity as defendant. In those instances I urge the parties to first conduct limited discovery to resolve these fundamental issues before focusing on damages or other aspects of the case.
