Step-by-step explanation

The situations where discovery may not be allowed or limited is when there's the involvement of information that is electronically stored. A party doesn't need to provide discovery  for such information especially when the information is from sources which are unreasonably unaccessible as a result of undue burden or costs. To allow for discovery,the party  must provide proof that the information isn't accessible reasonably due to cost or undue burdens. On showing this, the order for discovery might be made by the court in the instance where the requesting party shows good causes in consideration  of Rule 26(b)(2)(C)limitations.

Another instance is about documents as well as tangible things.  Documents as well as tangible things prepared in litigation anticipation or for trial may not be discovered  for another party or  its representative. This means that if there's a representation or taking the documents as well as tangible assets on behalf of another or presenting them during trial for another then these may not be discovered.
