Ora Whittle, Appellant v. Michael Weber, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the order requiring Whittle to permit a limited inspection of his property because the inspection was relevant, specifically defined, and adequately limited to protect privacy. It reversed and vacated the judgment entered as a discovery sanction because the record did not clearly establish willful noncompliance or that Whittle would refuse to comply with a clarified order, and litigation-ending sanctions were therefore unwarranted. The court also upheld rejection of Whittle’s statute-of-limitations and laches defenses. No separate opinions were filed.
