United States Bankruptcy Court, D. Delaware
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION 1
MARY F. WALRATH, Bankruptcy Judge.
Before the Court is a discovery dispute where the Plaintiffs seek the production of documents which the Defendants assert are protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrine (the “Motion to Compel”) and a related Motion of the Defendants to exclude testimony of the Plaintiffs’ experts as a sanction for the spoliation of information considered in forming their opinions (the “Spoliation Motion”). The Motions are opposed. For the reasons set forth below, the Court will deny both the Spoliation Motion and the Motion to Compel.
