burdensome, irrelevant to any issue in this action and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
Abex further objects to this interrogatory to the extent this interrogatory seeks information regarding safety issues at Abex or Abex plants where asbestos-containing and non-asbestoscontaining products were manufactured, on the grounds that this interrogatory is overly broad and irrelevant, and therefore not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, in that any exposure under such conditions would differ in quality, type, duration, and degree from any exposure at issue in this action. In addition, this interrogatory is overly broad and irrelevant as the information sought is not in any way limited in time or to activities which transpired in Illinois or to the alleged exposure of the plaintiff to any product of Abex.
Abex further objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is over broad, oppressive, harassing and otherwise unduly burdensome, and calls for speculation to the extent to which it requests information which is not within the personal knowledge, possession or control of Abex, its employees or agents, or which may be ascertained or derived, if at all, only from a page-bypage review of the existing voluminous business records and documents of Abex.
Without waiver of these objections, Abex responds that it can provide plaintiff with a reasonable opportunity for inspection and copying of non-privileged documents which may be responsive to this interrogatory and to which objection is not made through Abex counsel at a mutually convenient time and at the Abex document storage facility where they are maintained.
