This is exactly it. It's very common for lawyers to seek as much information as possible during discovery in an effort to effectively go fishing simply hoping to find anything that might support their chances (not only on the merits of the claim but also in terms of characterization of the opposition). Specifically requesting copies of all communication is usually a stretch for a judge to approve in a subpoena, but it's a common ask.
In this case it sounds like the judge approved it and Remington gave the plaintiffs exactly what they requested, and the plaintiffs, not finding evidence of misdeed, are instead attacking the character of Remington for giving them exactly what they asked for and complying with a subpoena. The plaintiffs are essentially trying to attack Remington's credibility for sending memes to one another, because they didn't find actual evidence of actual wrongdoing or illegal activity to support the merits of their case. They are attacking Remington for following the law (complying with a subpoena) which sort of makes sense because the entire case is a witch-hunt that should have been summarily dismissed prior to this point anyway.
Yep, it sounds like a case of "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it." Or they ended up the victim of an epic self-troll, thinking Remington had nefarious plans, yet all they got was inner-office joke emails.Exactly this! If they didn't had over "everything" the the attorney's would have something else to condemn Remington for.
You get a judge to issue a subpoena asking for everything...... You get everything! Whether you like it or not.
The way I understand it, is the bankruptcy judge withheld some of the money from the sell of everything to keep the insurance active.Does any of this 'spill over' to the new owners of Remington?
Is Remington even a viable company any more? Didn't they file another bankruptcy recently?
I wondered about this myself. When Remington Outdoor (holding company for Remington Arms) went bankrupt, their manufacturing assets were auctioned off. To other companies. The legacy Remington Outdoor apparently still exists, without any plant or manufacturing assets, as a firm in bankruptcy. So my take is, that when the assets of Remington Outdoor were auctioned off, the proceeds from that went into trust under the legacy company's bankruptcy. And this money, whatever is left, will be the source of funds to satisfy anything granted to the Sandy Hook survivors and other litigants.Does any of this 'spill over' to the new owners of Remington?
