Q: statute in relevance ? Motion for Protective Order from request to authorize release of info.
If Motion for Protective Order from request to release medical information is filed (not Protective Order from production demand) - is CCP § 2031.060 (a) in relevance? CCP § 2031.060 (b)?
CCP § 2017.010, § 2017.020 (a) are relevant
A:
In California, when filing a Motion for Protective Order from a request to authorize the release of medical information, the following statutes are relevant:
1. CCP § 2017.010 and § 2017.020 (a): These statutes establish the scope of discovery in California, stating that parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not privileged, that is relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action or to the determination of any motion made in that action, if the matter either is itself admissible in evidence or appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
2. CCP § 2031.060 (a): This statute is not directly relevant to a Motion for Protective Order from a request to release medical information. CCP § 2031.060 (a) pertains to the production of documents, electronically stored information, and tangible things, and the inspection of documents, premises, and other property. It allows a party to move for a protective order from these types of discovery requests.
3. CCP § 2031.060 (b): This statute is also not directly relevant to a Motion for Protective Order from a request to release medical information. CCP § 2031.060 (b) outlines the specific circumstances under which the court may grant a protective order for the production of documents, electronically stored information, and tangible things, or the inspection of documents, premises, and other property.
In summary, CCP § 2017.010 and § 2017.020 (a) are relevant to a Motion for Protective Order from a request to authorize the release of medical information, as they establish the scope of discovery in California. However, CCP § 2031.060 (a) and (b) are not directly relevant, as they pertain to protective orders related to the production and inspection of documents, electronically stored information, tangible things, premises, and other property.
