Ohio Appellate Court Approves Discovery of Paralegal's Role in Drafting of Expert Reports

We've been informed of a decision earlier this month, from the Ohio Court of Appeals, approving the deposition of a paralegal identified by two expert witnesses as playing some role in the drafting of their reports. The opinion upholds the denial of a motion for protective order by proponent's counsel, over a dissent prophesying a general opening of the discovery floodgates. The majority dismisses the dissent's concerns as overwrought. But maybe this sort of thing is a bit more common than the majority imagines? See Stanton v. Univ. Hosps. Health Sys., Inc., 2006-Ohio-2297.
