Kentucky Supreme Court

Inverultra, S.a. v. Honorable Steven A. Wilson, Judge, Warren Circuit Court, and Union Underwear, Inc., D/b/a Fruit…

December 18, 20142014 Ky. LEXIS 620

Summary

The court affirmed denial of Inverultra’s requests for extraordinary writs because the discovery restrictions could be reviewed on appeal after completion of the supplemental judgment-enforcement proceeding, and Inverultra showed neither irreparable injury nor a special threat to the administration of justice. The court declined to decide whether the trial court’s protective order or discovery rulings were erroneous, holding that Inverultra was not eligible for writ relief. Justice Venters, dissenting, would have treated the discovery denial as effectively final because the statutory asset-discovery proceeding could not proceed without discovery.
