Expert witness discovery is governed by Connecticut’s Civil Matters Rules, § 13-4. CONN. GEN. STAT. ANN. § 13-4 (West 2017). The rule does not specifically note whether the fees and expenses associated with an expert’s testimony are discoverable or not. Id. Further, case law is scant on precedent regarding financial information of experts, but it does note that the court has discretion regarding discovery matters. Vitali v. Southern New England Ear, Nose, Throat and Facial Plastic Surgery Group, LLP, 107 A.3d 422 (Conn. App. Ct. 2014).
