Full and fair discovery is essential to the truth-finding function of our justice system, and parties and non-parties alike must comply not only with the technical provisions of the discoveryrules, but also with the purpose and spirit of those rules.1 The search for truth and justice as our court system and constitution demand can be accomplished only when all relevant facts are before the judicialtribunal. Those relevant facts should be the determining factor rather than gamesmanship, surprise or superior trial tactics.2
Courts should not countenance or tolerate actions during litigation that are not forthright and that are designed to delay and obfuscate the discovery process.3
