Discovery: response to inspection demands.

The Civil Discovery Act permits a party to a civil action to obtain discovery, as specified, by inspecting documents, tangible things, land or other property, and electronically stored information in the possession of any other party to the action. The Civil Discovery Act requires any documents produced in response to an inspection demand to be produced as they are kept in the usual course of business, or be organized and labeled to correspond with the categories in the demand. This bill would eliminate the option to produce documents as they are kept in the usual course of business, thereby requiring all documents or category of documents produced in response to a demand for inspection, copying, testing, or sampling to be identified with the specific request number to which the documents respond.
