Encite LLC v Soni, C.A. 2476-CC (April 15, 2011)

When the Court of Chancery establishes discovery deadlines, it is not kidding.  The Court is consistently generous with lawyers who need more time and ask for it for a good reason and ahead of deadlines.  But when the lawyer fails to ask until the deadline has passed, the Court is not so kind and, as here, may deny the request.
