Charter Unresponsive to Discovery Request, NY AG Tells Court

Charter Communications isn’t cooperating with discovery in the New York attorney general’s lawsuit alleging the company deliberately misled customers about internet speeds (see 1705110025), the AG office (OAG) said in a Wednesday letter to New York Supreme Court Justice Peter Sherwood. Charter hasn't "produced a single responsive document" since OAG served its first request May 17, said OAG Senior Adviser Simon Brandler. Under Civil Practice Law Rules, the company had to file objections to the request within 20 days, but didn’t do so until June 30, he said. "In effect, Defendants have imposed a unilateral stay of discovery, in violation of the [CPLR], the rules of the Commercial Division, and the specific order of this Court.” Charter declined comment.
