Palm Beach County School Board and Terry andrews v. Claudia Morrison

We have for review the trial courts interlocutory order granting respondent, Claudia Morrisons motion to compel petitioner, Terry Andrews, to comply with a deposition duces tecum requiring him to attend a continued deposition and answer questions and produce records regarding his drug usage and mental health treatment. The order also imposed sanctions against counsel. Petitioners, Palm Beach County School Board and Terry Andrews, filed an emergency petition for writ of certiorari, and on March 17, 1993, by unpublished order, this court granted the petition and quashed the trial courts order insofar as it compelled deposition testimony and disclosure of medical records not previously disclosed and not the subject of Andrews February 17, 1993, written waiver regarding his mental health treatment. We issue this opinion to explain our reasons for granting the petition for writ of certiorari.
