Search engines no help on this. I am suing a company for breach of contract and expect to win but I am unsure if company has enough assets if I receive favorable judgment. My attorney filed for "limited expedited discovery." What does that mean?

Tell us now what you have in this limited area and tell us quickly and you will not be punished if something is left out that appears in full discovery if it can be shown that it would have taken too much time (not expedited) to get it first.

Why not ask your attorney?
In most jurisdictions it means that there will be expedited discovery on a limited issue or issues. Expedited means that normal time limits in the rules of court will be shortened.
But, to be sure about your case ask your lawyer.

That pretty much means that your attorney has asked questions that he wishes to get near immediate answers to. The judge must approve it and issue a shorter time limit than the usual 30 days.

discovery is basically a term used when your attorney asks questions . . . limited is the scope - he will probably only be asking about financial assets - expedited is literal.
