“Parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, that is relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action[.]” (See Coffman Grup. v. Sweeney (2005) 219 S.W.3d 763, 766.)
“The discovery need not be admissible at trial, but rather must appear "reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.” (See id.)
“The party moving to obtain discovery must establish the relevance of the information in order to obtain it.” (See id.)
“Missouri courts recognize that the rules of discovery serve to eliminate concealment and surprise at trial.” (See id.)
“Nevertheless, our discovery rules are not talismans without limitations.” (See id.)
“The boundaries of discovery requests are to be determined by balancing the conflicting interests of the interrogator and the respondent.” (See id.)
“The need of the interrogator to obtain the discovery must be weighed against the respondent's burden in disclosing it.” (See id.)
“In addition, even though the information is properly discoverable, the trial court should consider whether the information may be obtained in a less burdensome way than that designed by the requesting party.” (See id.)
“The trial court has broad discretion over discovery matters.” (See Taylor v. Taylor (2018) 566 S.W.3d 641, 655.)
“We review a trial court’s ruling on the admission of evidence for an abuse of discretion.” (See id.)
“We presume the trial court’s discovery ruling is correct and only find an abuse of discretion when the trial court’s ruling is clearly against the logic of the circumstances before the court at the time and is so unreasonable and arbitrary that it shocks one’s sense of justice and indicates a lack of careful consideration.” (See id.)
It is well settled that “the proper method to raise an objection to discovery, would [be] to file a motion for a protective order under Rule 56.01(c)” (See Scott v. Leclercq (2004) 136 S.W.3d 183, 191.)
It is also well settled that “the party or person opposing discovery has the burden of showing good cause to limit discovery.” (See Cox v. Kan. City Chiefs Football Club, Inc. (2015) 473 S.W.3d 107, 127.)
