Mana v. Cho

Prevailed on a petition for writ of certiorari for a developer against his real estate brokers. The Third District quashed the trial court’s discovery order compelling the developer to produce his personal financial information, such as tax returns and income statements, to the defendant real estate brokers. The Third District held that the developer’s personal financial information was not relevant for discovery purposes since he sought as damages only the difference between the contract price and fair market value of land, and not compensatory damages.
