As it relates to other alleged joint ventures, GM's request is overruled. Woodbridge's request to compel GM to supplement its answers to Woodbridge's Interrogatories 1-8 is granted only to extent GM shall produce statement on or before 2/7/14, without prejudice to its ability to develop further facts through discovery and in consultation with experts, setting forth its present factual bases for its allegations concerning molded foam as referenced in Interrogatory 4 and, to extent reasonable, citing to evidentiary materials which support those bases.
