Description
We reverse an order which entered final judgment in favor of an appellee after the trial court struck the appellant's pleadings
for "intentional failure to comply with court's order and prejudice shown by [appellee]." The order which appellant failed
to comply with directed the appellant to "comply with discovery" within ten days. The discovery requested consisted of a request
to produce appellant's underwriting file together with interrogatories requesting information from that file. The discovery
had been requested three months before, and one other ex parte order requiring answers had been entered. Appellant's compliance with the order consisted of filing a response to the request stating that the underwriting file had
been destroyed. Appellant's counsel signed interrogatories stating that the information requested could not be furnished because
the files were destroyed.1{/Cite} Appellee then filed a motion to strike the pleadings for failure to comply with the
court order.
