Supreme Court of North Carolina

Williams v. Allen

December 16, 2022

Summary

The court held that a trial court deciding an interlocutory discovery motion was not required to make findings of fact because no party specifically requested findings under Rule 52. The defendants' requests for clarification about the privilege ruling sought legal conclusions and appellate framing, not factual findings. The court therefore reversed the Court of Appeals and left the trial court's order compelling production in effect.
