Sanctions

Yesterday I talked about sanctions including dismissal for providing misleading answers.  If you want to see how fast things can go south for failing to answer discovery correctly, see City of Jackson v. Rhaly, et. al. located here.  Here, the Court of Appeals affirmed the granting of a default judgment against the City of Jackson for failing to answer an interrogatory correctly.  Something to think about when a client wants to be sloppy in answering interrogatories.
