A Request for Production (also known as a Demand for Inspection) asks the other side to produce and allow copying or inspection and measuring of a document or thing.
Typically, if you requested a document, but the other side claims it doesn’t exist, you can object to the judge if they try to introduce the document at trial. This helps prevent surprise evidence at trial.
EXAMPLES OF REQUESTED ITEMS
- Produce all account statements issued between the dates of January 1, 2019 and July 31, 2020 for the account alleged in the Complaint.
- Produce the contract alleged in the Complaint.
- Produce all photographs taken on or after May 12, 2020 showing any vehicle involved in the collision alleged in the Complaint.
- Allow access to and inspection and photographing of the plaintiff’s vehicle involved in the collision described in the Complaint.
