PLC just hit me with a MTC and sanctions because an insured took too long to give me depo dates while he underwent cancer treatment. This is after agreeing to extend discovery by two months. Should I oppose this thing or line my cats litter box?

Undergoing cancer treatment is legitimate, consider a letter from the doctor if you’re really worried for the opp. No way you get sanctioned. Might be ordered to be deposed within 30 days in absolute worst case scenario.

Opp it with vague reasons to protect your clients privacy, offer to appear shortly on a mutually agreeable date (in papers) and include generic case law on striking of a complaint being a drastic remedy without a showing of bad faith etc.

On the side, email/call and get dates for the EBT

Oppose it and ask for sanctions of your own. Your client’s cancer treatment trumps some bullshit fender bender. PLC is wasting everyone’s time by dragging this into court.
