M&M Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I had filed a Motion to compel interrogatories back in Sept. They did not answer pursuant to our rules of court. I then put in a motion to dismiss. The arbitration hearing was postponed and now I have a hearing which is an Order of the Court on Defendants motion filed for sanctions for failure to respond to discovery request in the form of a motion to dismiss. What do I have to take to this hearing and what can I expect? I know I have to take all of the interrogatories and proof they did not answer them, the alleged statements and unsigned contract, but is there anything else that would help? Thank you in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&M Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I just received the same old papers from Mann Bracken for the fourth time. This time since they missed the deadline for filing responses to interrogatories they are now trying to answer them. They are attempting to say that instead of my motion to compel interrogatories they received a motion to dismiss on that date. This is not true. When I print out a motion etc. I make 3 copies one for the court, one for them and one for myself. I received the order to compel interrogatories that was dated Sept. 15th it also stated they had to answer the interrogatories within 30 days. They did not answer so I motioned the court to dismiss with prejudice . The court postponed the arbitration hearing and made a court date for Dec. for a hearing on my motion. They now are asking for the answers to be let in because they say they didn't receive the order. which is BS. They still haven't answered anything I wanted and say my interrogatories are vague, ambigiguous and overly broad. How can "Please attach any contract with Defendants signiture be any of these?" They also want to know what I am bringing to the arbitration hearing they want rescheduled. Do I have to answer them.? We are just getting ready to go on vacation and I don't have the time to get too much paperwork done. Thanks for any help in this..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Just keep plugging along with this. If they do win (since this is a kangaroo court, they have a good chance of it), you can take all of your documentation to the court hearing where they will try to turn it into a judgment.The real battle (and the one that counts) is when they take an arbitration award and try to turn it into a judgment.

M&M Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 They already had an National Arbitration award. I never received this paper from anyone and was shocked when I went through the papers they sent me and saw it. They stated due to the change in PA rules of civil Procedure concerning claims brought in Arbitration , on or about Aug. 7th 2007 they now have to file a complaint in Civil Action in my county. Which is what I'm up against now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
