Order on Motion for Rehearing En Banc
|
Description |
Order Denying Rehearing En Banc ~ ORDERED that petitioner's March 2, 2023 motion for rehearing, rehearing en banc, certification, or in the alternative, for a written opinion is denied. Certiorari is a discretionary writ whose issuance lies within the judicial discretion of the appellate court. Combs v. State, 436 So. 2d 93, 95-96 (Fla. 1983). In this case, the trial court properly bifurcated the issues permitting Universal to inquire into the facts but prohibiting inquiry into the refining, synthesizing, or use of the information gathered at the request of counsel. “[T]he work product concept furnishes no shield against discovery, by interrogatories or by deposition, of the facts that the adverse party's lawyer has learned, or the persons from whom he has learned such facts.” Grinnell Corp. v. Palms 2100 Ocean Blvd., Ltd., 924 So. 2d 887, 894 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006) (quoting Ford v. Philips Elecs. Instruments Co., 82 F.R.D. 359, 360 (E.D. Pa.1979)). Therefore, all motions are denied.DAMOORGIAN and LEVINE, JJ., concur.WARNER, J. dissenting on rehearing.I would grant rehearing and grant the petition for writ of certiorari. The petition seeks to quash the order compelling a witness to disclose fact work product obtained as a result of attorney-directed investigation in anticipation of litigation. Such work product is protected and is discoverable on a showing of need and undue hardship. See S. Bell Tel. & Tel. Co. v. Deason, 632 So. 2d 1377, 1384 (Fla. 1994); Heartland Express, Inc., of Iowa v. Torres, 90 So. 3d 365, 367 (Fla. 1st DCA 2012). The trial court did not determine whether respondent had met her burden of showing undue hardship. See e.g. Millard Mall Servs. v. Bolda, 155 So. 3d 1272 (Fla. 4 DCA 2015). I would grant the petition, quash the order, and direct the trial court to determine whether respondent has satisfied its burden of showing that it cannot obtain the equivalent discovery through other means without undue hardship. Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.280(b)(4).
