Dowdle v. Aurora Loan Services, Inc.

This Court has stated: “Ordinarily, we would not review rulings regarding discovery proceedings in the trial courts.” Ex parte Dorsey Trailers, Inc., 397 So.2d 98, 102 (Ala.1981). Further:

“The utilization of a writ of mandamus to compel or prohibit discovery is restricted because of the discretionary nature of a discovery order. The right sought to be enforced by mandamus must be clear and certain with no reasonable basis for controversy about the right to relief. The writ will not issue where the right in question is doubtful. Lassiter v. Wemeth, 275 Ala. 555, 156 So.2d 647 (1963).”
