Section 6-5-694

Discovery.

(a) In an asbestos action, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that trust claim materials and trust governance documents are relevant, authentic, and admissible in evidence. A claim of privilege does not apply to trust claim materials or trust governance documents.

(b) A defendant in an asbestos action may seek discovery from an asbestos trust. The plaintiff may not claim privilege or confidentiality to bar discovery and shall provide consent or other expression of permission that may be required by the asbestos trust to release the information and materials sought by the defendant.
