September 1, 2017250 So. 3d 536
Summary
The Alabama Supreme Court granted Action Auto Sales’ petition for mandamus, vacating the trial court’s orders that denied its objection to subpoenas and a protective order, and limited discovery to records of transactions between Vivian Paul and Action Auto Sales. The Court held the trial court exceeded its discretion by ordering production of Paul’s unrelated personal financial records, which were deemed irrelevant and invasive of privacy.
