District Court, E.D. New York July 12, 2010, No. 04 CV 2799(NG)(VVP) and all related cases (Linde v. Arab Bank, PLC)

OPINION AND ORDER

GERSHON, District Judge:

The issue presented here is what sanctions to impose for defendant’s recalcitrance in meeting its discovery obligations. Defendant’s objections to discovery on the basis of foreign bank secrecy were overruled in 2006. Since then, defendant has continued in its refusal to comply with its production obligations.
