`
`files this Response to Defendant and Cross-Defendant Hilti, Inc’s (“Hilti”) Motion to Quash (the
`
`“Motion to Quash”) Spears’s Notice of Intention to Serve Subpoena Duces Tecum on Non-Party
`
`Lubrizol Advanced Materials,
`
`Inc.
`
`(“Lubrizol”), and Motion to Compel Compliance with
`
`Subpoena, and in support, states as follows:
`
`BACKGROUND AND FACTS
`
`Hilti’s Motion to Quash is grounded on inaccurate and misleading assertions. Contrary to
`
`Hilti’s assertions, the requested categories of documents that Spears seeks via subpoena from
`
`Lubrizol are highly relevant to the remaining questions in this matter. Thus, Hilti’s Motion to
`
`Quash should be denied and Lubrizol should be compelled to produce responsive documents as
`
`originally requested, by August 16, 2019.

`

`Hilti accurately describes the basic background of this case: alleged defects in the
`
`construction of a fire suppression system for the renovation of the Statler Hilton Hotel located in
`
`Dallas, Texas (the “Project”). Hilti, however, flagrantly misstates the remaining issues to be
`
`decided and the facts uncovered in discovery.
`
`First, although Spears and Hilti have each settled the claims brought against them by
`
`Statler, Spears has filed a cross-claim against Hilti alleging that Hilti made misrepresentations
`
`and/or omissions to Spears regarding changes to the chemical composition of its sealant/caulking
`
`product—changes that resulted in the Hilti sealant/caulking no longer being compatible with
`
`Spears’s CPVC pipe. Hilti’s knowledge of changes to its products, including as evidenced through
`
`communications it had with other CPVC pipe manufacturers,
`
`like Lubrizol, are critical
`
`in
`
`determining whether Hilti omitted relevant, known information in its communications with Spears
`
`that could have prevented the resulting damage at the Project.
`
`Second, Hilti
`
`fundamentally misinterprets
`
`the
`
`testing done
`
`and compatibility
`
`representations made by Spears regarding Hilti’s compatibility with Spears’s CPVC products.
`
`Specifically, a review of Spears’s communications regarding compatibility with Hilti products
`
`explains that only the particular samples of Hilti’s products used in the testing passed Spears’s
`
`limited “90 day chemical compatibility testing.”1 In that same communication, Spears explicitly
`
`provided that the testing was “not an endorsement Of any product in any way” and was “not
`3”
`
`transferable to any ‘similar product
`
`that was not tested.”2 It is undisputed that Hilti’s products
`
`were chemically changed from the time of original testing with Spears’s products. And when Hilti
`
`first approached Spears in August 2012 to inquire about testing Spears’s FlameGuard CPVC with
`
`Hilti’s products, Hilti specifically compared Lubrizol to Spears to as part of its pitch, stating to
`
`1 See Ex. 1, Letter from J. Bosanek, Spears to C. Stroike, Hilti (Dec. 28, 2012).
`2 Id.
`
`SPEARs’s RESPONSE TO MOTION TO QUASH SUBPOENA AND
`MOTION TO COMPEL COMPLIANCE

`
`

`

`Spears that the Hilti FS—One lntumescent Firestop Sealant was “currently listed on the [Lubrizol]
`
`Blazemaster compatibility program which verifies compatibility with CPVC.”3 Furthermore, upon
`
`information and belief, Lubrizol was testing similar Hilti products and had Hilti “agree[] not to
`
`change its product formulation without rescreening and retesting” for compatibility.4 Accordingly,
`
`communications likely exist between Lubrizol and Hilti that are relevant to the testing completed
`
`by Spears on CP 506 and other similar Hilti products, Hilti’s knowledge regarding the need for
`
`retesting in light of Hilti formulation changes, and accordingly, whether Hilti omitted important
`
`information from Spears during or after the testing that Spears performed on Hilti’s products.
`
`Third, discovery has revealed that Hilti has not always provided warnings regarding the
`
`use Of its CP 506 product with CPVC piping. For example, the product information sheet and
`
`material safety data sheet included as Exhibits in the action against Hilti styled, Davis-Ulmer
`
`Sprinkler Co., Inc. v. Hilti, Sup. Ct. of NY. (Nov. 30, 2017) do not include any warnings or
`
`prohibitions on the application of Hilti’s CP 506 sealant/caulking to any CPVC products by any
`
`manufacturer. Whether Hilti provided such warnings to Lubrizol and whether such warnings
`
`resulted in Lubrizol finding Hilti’s CP 506 products incompatible with CPVC pipe is germane to
`
`the issue oinlti’s liability in this case.
`
`Fourth, despite Hilti’s pleas to limit the scope of this matter to “Spears’ CPVC pipes and
`
`[Hilti] CP 506,” Spears’s cross-claim against Hilti regarding misrepresentations and/or omissions
`
`for determinations of compatibility implicate Hilti’s knowledge regarding changes to its products.
`
`Part of this knowledge lies in Hilti’s communications with other companies, like Lubrizol, who
`
`were—like Spears—testing Hilti products for compatibility. Another part Of this knowledge lies
`
`3 See Ex. 2, Email from C. Stroike, Hilti to J. Bosanek, Spears (Aug. 10, 201).
`
`4 See Ex. 3, Lubrizolcom, System Compatible Product Finder, https://www.lubrizol.com/CPVC/FBC-System-
`
`Compatible-Program/System-Compatible-Product-Finder.

`
`

`

`in other manufacturing companies’, like Lubrizol, communications with Hilti suppliers who may
`
`have knowledge of changes to Hilti products, which could (and should) have then been
`
`communicated to Spears. All told, Spears’s requests for discovery tO Lubrizol are highly relevant
`
`to the remaining issues in this matter. The Court should deny Hilti’s Motion to Quash and grant
`
`Spears’s motion to compel compliance with the subpoena to Lubrizol.
`
`ARGUMENT
`
`In genera , “a party may obtain discovery regarding any matter that is not privileged and is
`
`relevant to the subject matter of the pending action. .
`
`. .” Tex. R. Civ. P. 192.3.
`
`Information is
`
`relevant if it tends to make the existence of a fact that is of consequence to the determination Of
`
`the action more or less probable than it would be without the information. Tex. R. Evid. 401; In
`
`re Pilgrim ’5 Pride Corp, 204 S.W.3d 831, 835 (Tex. App.—Texarkana 2006, orig. proceeding).
`
`When a party issues a subpoena, any party whose information may be implicated by that subpoena
`
`may file a motion for protection. To prevail on such a motion, the affected party must show that
`
`the requested discovery will cause it to suffer undue burden, unnecessary expense, harassment,
`
`annoyance, is overbroad, or is an invasion of protected rights. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 192.6; In re
`
`Alford Chevrolet—Geo, 997 S.W.2d 173, 180—81 (Tex. 1999); Grass v. Golden, 153 S.W.3d 659,
`
`662—63 (Tex. App. 2004). A party must show “particular, specific, and demonstrable injury by
`
`facts sufficient to justify a protective order.” Masinga v. Whittington, 792 S.W.2d 940 (Tex. 1990).
`
`Hilti ’s Motion is nothing more than another attempt to suppress relevant evidence and facts
`
`that would support Spears’s allegations regarding the false claims and/0r omissions committed by
`
`Hilti regarding the change in their products’ formulas and ingredients.5 Hilti complains that Spears
`
`is conducting a “fishing expedition” by seeking communications from Lubrizol relating to the
`
`5 See generally, Spears’ Original Cross-Claim against Hilti (May 12, 2019).
`
`SPEARs’s RESPONSE TO MOTION TO QUASH SUBPOENA AND
`MOTION TO COMPEL COMPLIANCE
`
`PAGE 4
`
`

`

`marketing, compatibility testing, chemical composition, and suppliers of Hilti products.
`
`In fact,
`
`this information is central to determining Hilti’s knowledge of issues regarding compatibility with
`
`other products that could have affected Hilti product compatibility with Spears’ products. To
`
`suggest this is “fishing” is to overlook the very crux of Spears’s claims against Hilti. Accordingly,
`
`Hilti’s Motion to Quash should be denied. See In re Pilgrim ’5 Pride Corp, 204 S.W.3d at 835
`
`(finding discovery request proper where request sought information that was relevant to an issue
`
`in the lawsuit and could reasonably lead to the discovery of such information).
`
`Aside from this general objection, Hilti also objects that Spears’ requests to Lubrizol are
`
`overbroad because they are not limited in time; Spears agrees that the requests should be limited
`
`in time. To that end, Spears provides that the relevant time period for production pursuant to the
`
`requests is January 1, 2009 to January 1, 2018. This time period is justified given that Hilti was
`
`providing information on the manufacturing and compatibility of CP 506 at least as early as 2009.6
`
`Hilti also objects that Spears’ requests are overbroad because they seek documents relating
`
`to Lubrizol’s products, which were not installed at the Project. As explained above, although
`
`Lubrizol products were not “installed at the Project,” the communications between Lubrizol and
`
`Hilti relating to compatibility testing of Hilti products with CPVC pipe will indisputably indicate
`
`the extent of knowledge Hilti had regarding changes to its products and whether those changes
`
`were generally affecting the compatibility of its products with CPVC pipe products. That Lubrizol
`
`CPVC pipes were not installed at the Project will make no difference to the reasoning for obtaining
`
`this discovery: to determine Hilti is knowledge ofits products changes and compatibility with other
`
`products. Indeed, Hilti, in an installation drawing from March 2012 (a drawing that Hilti did not
`
`disclose to Spears in connection with Spears’s testing of Hilti products) warns “NOT FOR USE
`
`6 See Ex. 4, Submittal Review, at 11-14 (Aug. 27, 2012) (Material Safety Data Sheet for CP 506 from 2009 and
`accompanying letter from November 2009).
`
`SPEARs’s RESPONSE TO MOTION TO QUASH SUBPOENA AND
`MOTION TO COMPEL COMPLIANCE
`
`PAGE 5
`
`

`

`WITH CPVC PIPING”.7 Hilti makes no differentiation in this warning between the manufacturers
`
`of CPVC piping. For these reasons, Hilti’s objection must be overruled. See In re National Lloyds
`
`449 S.W.3d at 488 (holding that a discovery request is properly tailored when the request calls for
`
`documents related to the litigated dispute).
`
`Finally, Hilti’s objection regarding Spears’ requests for information related to Hilti
`
`products other than that installed at the Project should be overruled because, again, Hilti’s
`
`knowledge ofproduct changes is the critical component of the requested discovery. Hilti was
`
`marketing and seeking compatibility approval of several of its products simultaneously with
`
`several piper manufacturers, like Lubrizol and Spears. Because those products were often part of
`
`the same discussion, there were undoubtedly communications regarding the many changes to each
`
`product that will tend to show Hilti’s knowledge of changes and misrepresentations and/or
`
`omissions of such changes.
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`Spears’
`
`subpoena to Lubrizol
`
`requests highly relevant
`
`information for
`
`the final
`
`determination Of Spears’ cross-claims against Hilti. Specifically, the requested information will
`
`reveal the extent Of Hilti’s knowledge of changes to its products and if it was communicating those
`
`changes to other pipe manufacturers, but not Spears. Although Hilti may object to this discovery
`
`because it will reveal unhelpful information for its case, that is no valid reason to deny Spears its
`
`right to such discovery. Hilti’s Motion to Quash must, therefore, fail. And Lubrizol should be
`
`compelled to fully comply with subpoena by August 16, 2019.
`

`(Examples), noting “limitation” that it is “NOT FOR USE WITH CPVC PIPING”).

`The FBCTM System Compatible Program was launched in 2002 in order to provide building contractors
`
`with a reliable selection of ancillary products confirmed to be compatible with FlowGuard ®’
`
`BlazeMaster®, Corzan® , and products made with TempRite® Technology. Products listed here have
`
`undergone formulation screening and rigorous physical testing in contact with CPVC material samples
`
`at a third party laboratory. Their manufacturers have furthermore agreed not to change the product
`
`formulation without rescreening and retesting, and to undergo annual retesting and audits of their
`
`manufacturing facilities. Look for the FBC logo when selecting ancillary products for installation in
`
`contact with FlowGuard , BlazeMaster, Corzan, and products made with TempRite Technology.

`The FBCTM System Compatible Program is a resource made available to manufacturers of ancillary
`
`products intended to be used with CPVC to help determine whether a product is chemically
`
`compatible with Lubrizol’s FlowGuard® pipe and fittings, BlazeMaster® fire protection
`
`systems, Corzan® industrial piping, and products made with TempRite® Technology. Other
`
`

`

`manufacturers and/or brands of CPVC piping have not been tested as part of the FBC System
`
`Compatible Program. The FBC System Compatible program is, therefore, only applicable to the
`
`chemical compatibility of ancillary products with the Lu brizol brands of FlowGuard,
`
`BlazeMaster, Corzan, and products made with TempRite Technology. This distinction is made because
`
`every brand of CPVC piping is made with unique compounds, some of which may contain resins with
`
`different molecular weights and varying chlorine content. These characteristics directly impact the
`
`performance of the resulting product. Similarly, various CPVC products contain different performance
`
`additives. This too affects the performance characteristics of the ancillary product. For these reasons,
`
`Lu brizol has no responsibility for any failures occurring as a result of using products in the FBC System
`
`Compatible Program with CPVC products other than FlowGuard, BlazeMaster, Corzan, and
`
`products made with TempRite Technology.
