Hope there's enough similarity in the case for the judge to also consider "undue prejudice to Plaintiffs"

A privilege log is a list of documents the parties in a case believe are privileged and immune from disclosure in the lawsuit.
Federal and some state rules apply to the creation of privilege logs. Always check the rules. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1) states:
Parties may obtain discovery regarding any non-privileged matter that is relevant to any party’s claim or defense – including the existence, description, nature, custody, condition, and location of any documents or other tangible things and the identity and location of persons who know of any discoverable matter.
Just because one party designates certain documents as being privileged, does not make them privileged. The party seeking protection from disclosure has the burden of proving that the materials are legally privileged.
Types of Privilege:
1. Attorney/Client Privilege: communications between a client and his attorney.
2. Privacy Laws: Right to privacy under the Constitution or any law enacted by the government.
3. Attorney Work Product: Trial preparation documents, reports, statements, correspondence, and other documents
prepared in anticipation of litigation that reveal the attorney’s thoughts and mental impressions.
4. Trade Secrets: Documents that reveal formulas, practices, processes, designs, patterns, and/or other information
not generally known, with which a business can obtain economic advantage over competitors or customers.
A proper privilege log must contain:
1. The type of document for which the privilege is claimed.
2. The name and designation or capacity of the provider/author of the document.
3. The name and designation or capacity of each recipient.
4. The date of the information or the date on which the document was prepared, sent, or shared.

I wonder if they have already thrown out a number and defendants now want to see how they determined that value?
