What does the discovery phase mean in a pending lawsuit?

In any trial a motion for discovery is filed so that each side knows what the other side has for evidence in their case. So in a civil trial the defendant files a motion for discovery to the plaintiff and copies the motion and sends it to the court. The Plaintiff would then respond with any and all information about the case. For example if you are being sued for a contract violation, the plaintiff should send you a copy of the contract that was signed.

How do you do a motion to compell?

Any "motion" is a request to a court to take some action. Motions to compel occur in the "discovery" phase of a civil case when the parties are allowed to learn about each others positions. Discovery, in general, is intended to facilitate a trial on the facts, rather than by ambush. Discovery in a civil or criminal case is governed by rules of procedure. Among the parameters of the rules is the amount of time within which the non-propounding party has to respond to the discovery request(s) of the propounding party. The discovery can be in the form of interrogatories (written questions), or a request for production of documents. While there are other forms of discovery, these two best illustrate the function of a motion to compel. In short, if the discovery is not provided within the requisite amount of time, or objections to the discovery not timely served within that time, the proponent of the discovery may file a motion to compel. This is a request to the court to require the recipient of the discovery to furnish it to the proponent. An order compelling the discovery generally results from the motion, which gives the party to whom the discovery was sent some additional, usually shorter, amount of time to comply. If there is no compliance with the order, further sanctions can ensue if requested.


Why file Motion discovery?

A discovery motion lets you know what evidence the other side has. Normally, you are not allowed to surprise the other side with evidence they didn't know about, unless their lawyer was too dumb or distracted to file a discovery motion. Also, they may have evidence that helps you, that you will never find out about except through discovery.
