3.Immediately after Flight 101 crashed, Good asked Prof, a professor of aeronautical engineering who lived near San Diego Airport, to investigate the wreckage. Good sent Prof to the crash site for the purpose of determining whether he would make a satisfactory trial witness. Prof spent two hours investigating the wreckage and wrote a five-page report concluding that pilot error was the sole cause of the crash. Prof was paid an agreed honorarium of $200 and was never contacted by Good again. Peter, as class representative, demands a copy of Prof 's report to Good through the appropriate method. Good objects and Peter moves to compel production of the report.
Which of the following rulings on Peter's motion is most correct?
A.The report should be produced only if Peter can show a substantial need for it and an inability to get the substantial equivalent of the report's contents without undue hardship.
B.The report should be produced, because its contents are relevant to the subject matter, and it was not prepared in anticipation of litigation.
C.The report should be produced, only if Peter can show exceptional circumstances.
D.The report should not be produced under any circumstances, because Prof is an informally consulted expert.
