Powell v. McLain
Annotate this Case
In this interlocutory appeal, the issue before the Supreme Court was whether the Circuit Court of Simpson County erred in ordering Defendants to produce a recorded statement and a privilege log of all documents withheld on the basis of privilege and relevance. Upon review of the matter, the Court found that the circuit court abused its discretion in ordering Defendants to produce the recorded statement without any analysis of their claim of work-product privilege. Additionally, the Court found that the circuit court erred by granting Plaintiff’s motion to compel discovery without conducting an item-by-item analysis of each objection. Therefore, the Court vacated the circuit court’s order and remanded the case for further proceedings.
