Discovery Not Produced, Filed Motion to Compel

[only1bigdaddyo]

My question involves court procedures for the state of: IL
I filed a motion for discovery, the judge granted it.They didn't produce discovery. I notified the plaintiff that I hadn't received disc. and my intent on filing a motion to compel. The plaintiff didn't produce discovery and we have a hearing tomorrow for my motion to compel.
? They aren't going to produce requested discovery, do you think it will get dismissed and cancel the trial date or will they continue to trial?
Thanks in advance

Generally speaking, a court will only impose a significant sanction upon a party if they violate an order compelling discovery. Dismissal is an extreme sanction.

Depends... Whether the plaintiff has sufficient evidence to support their claim without the discovery at issue. Just because you demand something that is not readily available is not in itself a basis for dismissing plaintiff's suit.
