1
work-product doctrine or any other privilege, rule or doctrine, Responding Party objects to the
2
Interrogatory and will not provide the information.
32. Insofar as any specific Interrogatory may be construed to seek information which
4
is not within the possession, custody or control of Responding Party, Responding Party objects
5
to the Interrogatory.
6
3. Responding Party has not completed its investigation of the facts relating to this
7
case, has not completed discovery in this action and has not completed preparation for trial.
8
Accordingly, all responses contained herein are without prejudice to Responding Party’s right
9
to produce evidence of any subsequently discovered facts and to produce expert testimony on
10
any issue. Furthermore, the answers contained herein may be based in whole or in part on
11
hearsay data and other information inadmissible at the time of trial, although discoverable.
12
134. All responses contained herein are based only upon such information and

documents
14 which are presently available to and specifically known to Responding Party and
disclose
15 only those contentions which presently occur to it. It is anticipated that further

discovery,
16 independent investigation, legal research and analysis will supply additional facts,
add meaning
17 to the known facts, as well as establish entirely new factual conclusions and legal
18
contentions, all of which may lead to substantial additions to, changes in and variations from
19
the contentions herein set forth.
205. The following Interrogatory Responses are given without prejudice to
21
Responding Party’s right to produce evidence of any fact or facts which may be recalled later.
22
Responding Party accordingly reserves the right to change any and all responses herein as
23
additional facts are ascertained, analyses are made, legal research is completed and contentions
24
are made.
25
6. The responses contained herein are made in a good faith effort to supply as much
26
factual information and as much specification of legal contentions as is presently known but
27
should in no way be to Responding Party’s prejudice in relation to further discovery, research

or analysis.
27. Each Response is also subject to all appropriate objections (including, without
3
limitation, objections concerning competency, relevancy, materiality, propriety and
4
admissibility) which would require the exclusion of the responses if such responses were to be
5
introduced at any hearing or trial of this matter. All such objections and grounds for objections
6
involving or relating to the matters raised herein are reserved and may be introduced at the time
7
of trial or other hearing.
8
8. Responding Party objects to each and every interrogatory to the extent that it
9
calls for the disclosure of information protected by the attorney-client privilege, attorney work
10
product doctrine or other applicable privilege, and Responding Party’s responses herein shall
11
not be deemed to be a waiver of any such privilege or protection.
12
139. Responding Party objects to each and every Interrogatory to the extent that it

calls for
14 information that is not relevant to the subject matter of this action and/or reasonably
calculated
15 to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
1610. Responding Party objects to each and every Interrogatory to the extent that a

response
17 would necessitate the preparation of a compilation, abstract, audit or summary of, or
from 18
documents in Responding Party’s possession, custody or control (including those
19 in this litigation) and Responding Party hereby exercises its option, pursuant to
produced
20 Code of Civil Procedure §2030.230 to specify those documents from which an

23
seeks confidential or proprietary business information.

25
seeks the disclosure of information, communications and/or documents in violation of
26
Responding Party’s, its current or former employees’ or third parties’ rights of privacy. Any

responses herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Responding Party’s or any third party’s

On or about August 18, 2005, Responding Party sought the consent of Propounding Party to
23
sublet approximately 50% of the premises to a hair salon. After approximately one year of not
24
receiving a response to said request to sublet approximately 50% of the premises to a hair salon,
25
during which time Responding Party continuously checked with Propounding Party’s Leasing
26
Division to see if it would respond to said request to sublet approximately 50% of the premises,
27
Responding Party ultimately spoke with Stephen Hargrave of Propounding Party who told
28

4617 Rsp FR 1 28 09 6 Responses to Form Interrogatories


1
Responding Party that Shirley Lye, of Propounding Party’s Leasing Division, had gone to the
2 unannounced and determined that Propounding Party would not allow Responding
premises

Party to3sublet the premises to a beauty salon since it would “look funny” to have a beauty
4
salon inside the premises. Thereafter, Responding Party requested that the Propounding Party
5
consent to a sublet of the entire premises to a yogurt and tea shop. After many months delay in
6
responding to this request, Propounding Party refused to grant consent stating to Responding
7
8
Party that such use would conflict with an existing tenant, Baskin Robbins, when in fact, the
9
requested subtenant was primarily a tea shop.
10
The persons indentified in Response to Form Interrogatory 12.1 have knowledge of these facts.
11
The documents in the possession of Responding Party in support of these facts are being
12
produced
13 in response to the Propounding Party’s Request for Production of Documents.
Responding
14 Party has not yet conducted any discovery, and is accordingly unable, at this time,

to further
15 respond to Form Interrogatory No. 15.1.
Response
16 to Form Interrogatory No. 50.1:
The agreement
17 alleged in the complaint is not the agreement between the parties in that it was
18 by a written lease dated September 28, 1998 between Propounding Party’s
superseded
19 in interest and Responding Party.
