COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO. V. COCA-COLA CO.
110 F.R.D. 363 (1986)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over a motion to compel production of certain
formulae.
FACTS: The Bottlers (P) sued Coca Cola (D) seeking declaratory judgments, injunctive
relief, and damages. On August 20, 1985, the Court granted P's motion to compel production
of certain formulae subject to an agreed upon protective order. Counsel for D informed the
Court that it would not disclose the formulae in light of the overriding commercial
importance of the secrecy of formulae to the entire Coca Cola system. D conceded sanctions
on this issue and sought to be heard. P moved under 37(b)(2) for judgment in its favor and
for expenses and attorney fees.
