Attorney General Eric Schneiderman‘s push to compel ExxonMobil to produce additional documents as part of its fraud case against the energy company has been clipped, at least for the time being, by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Barry Ostrager.
On Friday, Ostrager agreed with Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison partner Theodore Wells Jr. that the attorney general’s May 8 subpoena for, among other items, a new production of material “seems unreasonable on its face,” according to the transcript of the June 16 hearing.
