Discovery regarding expert witnesses is governed by Arizona’s Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 26.1. ARIZ. REV. STAT. ANN. § 16-26.1 (2017). This rule does not specifically note whether financial information relating to expert witnesses is discoverable or not. Id. Case law is scant on the issue as well, but it does note that when construing the rules of discovery the court should use a “common sense approach” to determine if requiring disclosure of expert witness financial information is appropriate or not. See Rivers v. Solley, 177 P.3d 270 (Ariz. Ct. App. 2008).
