Compass granted expedited discovery in Zillow suit
Briefly

Compass aims to prevent Zillow from enforcing its listing access standards, which mandate that listings be entered into the MLS within 24 hours. There are disputes regarding violation notices received by Compass’s agents despite timely submissions. A joint letter will outline the agreed scope of discovery and deadlines. Zillow has proposed a limit on document production to 10,000 to 12,000, while Compass asserts the potential number could be 39,000 due to attached documents. Zillow is concerned about meeting production timelines and argues against producing certain board documents as marginally relevant.
Compass is seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent Zillow from enforcing its listing access standards, specifically those that require listings to be entered into the MLS within 24 hours of public marketing.
Some of Compass's agents received violation notices from Zillow despite filing listings within the 24-hour requirement, raising questions about the enforcement of Zillow's standards.
The parties plan to file a joint letter outlining the agreed scope of expert discovery and updated schedules, with a conference set to discuss this next Wednesday.
Zillow wants to limit document production to 10,000 to 12,000 documents, while Compass's request could lead to a maximum of 39,000 documents, creating a negotiation point.
