B & L Service, Inc. v. Concepcion

KLEIN, Judge.

Plaintiffs, in a suit arising out of an automobile accident, obtained discovery orders which require employees of defendant corporations to disclose their income from, and their percentage of ownership in, defendant corporations, on the ground that it could show bias. We conclude that requiring the disclosure of witnesses’ income from and ownership in the corporations under these circumstances violates their privacy rights.
