Court of Chancery of Delaware

A motion to compel discovery from defendants is granted in part where plaintiffs were entitled to more detailed interrogatory responses, and a discovery request, opposed on the grounds of attorney-client privilege, was relevant to proving elements of a promissory estoppel claim, and the disputed legal advice was not provided in anticipation of the litigation and the information was not obtainable by other means.
