In a Nevada Bad Faith Lawsuit, a U.S. Magistrate Judge made these observations recently:
This case has been extremely contentious, and the Parties have filed many, many motions seeking the court's intervention in resolving their discovery disputes, and have had multiple emergency telephonic dispute resolution conferences with the court.

Each side accuses the other of engaging in obstructive and abusive discovery tactics. Both sides ask for sanctions. The court has neither the time nor resources to parse through the parties' voluminous moving and responsive papers and make detailed factual findings, and will not do so here.

These observations are equally true of many Bad Faith Lawsuits, not just those in Nevada. Bad Faith Litigation is not for the faint of heart. Take it from one who has been involved with Bad Faith Lawsuits since the 20th Century.
