In Re: Stephen Rumnock, Plaintiff v. Dennis Anschutz and American Family Mutual Insurance Company, — Coats, J…

Summary

Justice Coats dissented from the majority's disposition of the original proceeding, arguing that the court should have decided whether discovery may be disclosed for use by unrelated litigants and plaintiffs' lawyers. The dissent would have held that dissemination of proprietary information in other litigation is not a proper basis for denying protection or imposing a discovery sanction. Justice Eid joined the dissent.
