Parties to pending or contemplated foreign proceedings potentially can use 28 U.S.C. §1782 to obtain broad discovery from U.S. persons for use in their foreign proceedings. Courts will deny §1782 discovery, however, if the petitioner fails to establish that it satisfies certain mandatory requirements found in the language of the statute. In their Southern District Civil Practice Roundup, Edward M. Spiro and Christopher B. Harwood discuss a recent decision by U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff denying a petition seeking §1782 discovery for failure to satisfy the statutory requirements.
