Discovery
During the Discovery period of a case, trial staff may gather
information through several methods:
- Data Request;
- Depositions;
- Inspections;
- Interrogatories;
- Staff on-site audits; and
- Subpoena.
Privileged Information
During discovery, there may be situations where a party objects
to providing documents or other material to the other parties
in the proceeding, on the ground that such material is privileged.
The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure permits the
presiding judge to issue a protective
order  . The protective
order preserves the privileged status of the information, but
at the same time, makes it available to the other parties to
assist them in preparing their case.
