Background: This case arose from a failed real estate transaction. The plaintiffs, Yusuf and Hasina Ebadi, alleged that the Fosters misled them regarding a condition requiring the purchaser to have Oakwood build a custom home, leading to the collapse of the agreement.

Motion: The defendants moved to compel answers from the plaintiffs on discovery and undertakings. The motion was relatively straightforward, involving questions on the plaintiffs' ability to finance the purchase and the sources of their funds.

Rulings: The court ordered the plaintiff to produce specific financial documents. It also addressed the relevance of questions related to the claim for damages and mitigation efforts, instructing the plaintiff to answer them.

Outcome: The defendants were awarded costs for the motion, but the amount was significantly reduced from what was sought due to the motion's simplicity and the extent to which the provided answers advanced the case.

The defendants were awarded costs fixed at a net amount of $1,400.00.
