I. Dispute Resolution/Trial Chapter 4 a. Discussion Questions (Discovery, pgs. 94 & 95, & lecture PowerPoint): John is a home builder and contractor, and builds large subdivisions. He is suing one of his suppliers for breach of contract. The contract required the supplier to deliver wood beams three times a week for use in the home construction. The supplier fully delivered for one month, but then stopped delivery. The complaint and the answer have been filed and they are in the middle of discovery. John's attorney has three remaining areas he would like to investigate. These are (1) to review a copy of the suppliers shipping records because he believes the supplier was selling the wood beams to a competitor for more money; (2) preserve the testimony of the owner of a lumber company that provides the wood to the supplier (the owner of the lumber company will not be available for trial); and (3) get the supplier to admit before trial that he stopped shipping the wood beams to John. Explain what discovery methods you would use to obtain this information and how they work
