[blindlaw] Using discovery from other countries?

[Patrick H. Stiehm]

There is not enough information here to answer this question. There are
so many factors that would enter into getting the evidence in that this
question just does not address. To even begin to answer the question you
would need to know what the evidence is, the exact nature of the
"discovery" in the foreign court and the rules of evidence in effect in
the court where the matter is being heard in the United States. Maybe,
with the answers to those questions and any others that they give rise
to, one would have a beginning point from which to do the research with
respect to getting the evidence.
