DuPont surrendered more than 37,000 documents to comply with a court order requiring the production of documents in a suit dating back to 1992, but Florida growers say 67,000 more documents are still needed. Attorney Robert Ratiner, who represents five growers claiming crop losses from their use of the Benlate fungicide, accuses DuPont of indexing documents in a manner designed to keep plaintiffs "chasing their tail." Said Ratiner in court Friday: "Judge, this was an orchestrated design of deceit from the beginning."

DuPont surrendered more than 37,000 documents to comply with a court order requiring the maker of the shelved fungicide Benlate to produce documents in a lawsuit dating back to 1992, but attorneys for growers claim that 67,000 more are still needed.
Five Miami-Dade growers suing DuPont claim some of the newly disclosed documents reveal a long-running cover-up — relevant documents were misfiled or mislabeled in a discovery fraud.
