What is the best course of action in response to opposing party "hiding the ball" by following responses to: Discovery compelled by the court as follows:
1. Requests for Production has multiple answers “Copies of documents and other tangible things responsive to this Request for Production are attached hereto as Exhibit A” that doesn’t actually contain any copies of related documents, and
2. Interrogatories have multiple answers that only refer the reader to “request for production, the deposition, pleadings and disclosure” that don't contain information pertinent to asked questions.
Are these valid responses and if not what rules do they violate? What are proper next steps to take? Should Motion for Contempt of Court be made and if so what are the chances of getting a favorable ruling?
