In Johnson v. Pratt & Whitney Canada, Inc. (1994) 28 Cal. App. 4th 613, the trial court found that the client, Pratt & Whitney Canada, Inc. (Pratt), had participated, apparently in conjunction with its counsel, in the deliberate discovery misconduct that precipitated the striking of Pratt's answer. (See id. at pp. 622-623.) The appellate court concluded that substantial evidence supported the trial court's finding that Pratt was implicated in the discovery misconduct and therefore the trial court "did not abuse its discretion in denying Pratt relief from sanctions under section 473." (Id. at p. 623.)
