Good Faith In Discovery Maryland Personal Injury

Before a party can file a motion to compel discovery the attorney seeking the discovery must first exercise good faith to resolve any disputes with his counterpart. The exercise of good faith requires more than simply sending correspondence and may very well require direct verbal communication between the attorneys in an attempt to resolve the dispute. The good-faith requirement is found in Maryland Rule 2-431. Maryland law does require direct contact between opposing parties in an attempt to resolve a discovery disputes amicably prior to seeking sanctions. See Sculley v Tauber, 138 Md App 423, 771 A 2d 550 (Md App. 2001).
