Able Supply Company, Relator v. the Honorable B.d. Moye, Judge, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the trial court abused its discretion by refusing to compel plaintiffs to answer an interrogatory linking injuries to specific defendants' products, and therefore granted a conditional writ of mandamus directing the trial court to order supplemental answers within sixty days. The Court found no adequate remedy at law and rejected the plaintiffs' reliance on Rule 166b(6)(b) as controlling.
