RESPONSE: Objection. Brown objects to this Request as premature. This matter is in the early stages of discovery and Brown has not engaged a testifying or consulting expert at this time. As such, there are no building codes, ASTM procedures, or industry standards identified at this time. Brown reserves the right to disclose experts and associated expert materials in accordance with applicable Florida Statutes, Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, Florida Rules of Discovery and any Court Order(s) governingexpert discovery and disclosures. Additionally, Brown objects to this Request as ambiguous and vague, as Brown has not asserted any affirmative claims at this time. 54. All settlement agreements or liquidation agreements between you and any other person relating to the construction, maintenance, or remediation of the Project. RESPONSE: Objection. Brown objects to this Request as it seeks irrelevant information, not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of relevant or admissible evidence. 55. All documents evidencing bids and proposals submitted by any entity to correct the alleged construction defects asserted by Plaintiff. RESPONSE: Objection. Brown objects to this Request as vague and ambiguous. Specifically, Brown objects to the use of the phrase “alleged construction defects asserted by you”. Brown has not asserted any allegations of construction defects at this time; therefore, this Request is vague, ambiguous, and capable of multiple interpretations. Brown further objects to the Request as overbroad, as the Request also seeks all documents of certain delineated types “submitted by any entity”, not just documents submitted by Brown. 56. A copy of the specifications and standards received by you or from any other person which pertain to the Project’s design, construction, or remediation. RESPONSE: Objection. Brown objects to this Request as vague and ambiguous. Specifically, Brown objects to the use of the phrase “specifications and standards” which are capable of multiple interpretations and the Association does not define the terms. Additionally, the Request does not specify which set of “specifications and standards” is being talked about in the request or what trade the requested “specifications and standards” concern.CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true and correct copy of the foregoing has been electronically served via the Florida E-Filing Portal to counsel of record for the parties on the attached Service List, this 10th day of May, 2021.
