Court Of Chancery Upholds Standing To Object To Subpoenas

Feeley v. NHAOCG LLC, C.A. 7304-VCL (August 16, 2012)

Feb. 7, 2005) denied standing to a party to object to a third party subpoena except on privilege grounds.  Well no more.  In this recent decision, the Court declared that Joule is wrong and that it will protect a party from excessive discovery.
