<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Sooo, Mr. Kurian, you’re basically saying subrogation by insurer is an end-run around Chapter 558?  But doesn’t the insurer “step into the shoes” of the insured?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">According to Black’s Law Dictionary Free Online Legal Dictionary 2<sup>nd</sup> Ed. (since I’m not at my office with my printed edition):  “Subrogation denotes the putting a third person who has paid a debt in
 the place of the creditor to whom he has paid it, so as that he may exercise against the debtor all .. . the rights which the creditor, if unpaid, might have done.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">According to another Google search, Black’s Law Dictionary, 8<sup>th</sup> ed., defines subrogation as "The principle under which an insurer that has paid a loss under an insurance policy is entitled to all the
 rights and remedies belonging to the insured against a third party with respect to the loss covered by the policy."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I concur that courts read into he disclosure provision the right of counsel to object or withhold on the basis of work product, etc.  Judicial activism is the real problem.  Strict construction of the statute would often lead to harsh results
 for one side, and too many judges feel the courts should not be forced to dispose of cases or limit evidence because of some statutory roadblock. 
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Consider this example.  Owner files suit for construction defects.  Before filing suit owner makes all repairs.  Contractor is completely unaware of the existence of any problem since owner never informed contractor via 558 notice or otherwise. 
 The failure of owner to send a 558 is raised by contractor.  Owner sends a 558.  At that point the alleged defect was already rectified by owner and the contractor was deprived of an opportunity to inspect (since evidence of the defect is gone).  Owner has
 expert reports and contractor has nothing.  The contractor was also deprived of an opportunity to cure because the owner already resolved the alleged defect.  Outcome.  Court will not limit owner’s evidence as required by 558 and and finds that 558 notice
 was sufficient and allows case to proceed.  This scenario is regularly playing out in construction defect cases brought via insurer (owner policy) subrogation.

<p class="MsoNormal">This result is how I would expect most circuit judges to respond to such a motion.  This section of the statute as originally conceived was arguably a legislative intrusion into the judicial process.  I can’t think of any other situation
 where a judge would be asked to sanction a party for pre-litigation discovery non-compliance, especially where the contractor is not obliged under the statute to even make an offer.  What if the production response was late or merely incomplete?  What if there
 were objections to the discovery?  This brings about a whole layer of dispute which I can understand judges not being inclined to deal with.    <o:p></o:p></p>
