Summary

Existing law prescribes the procedure for taking oral depositions inside the state. Existing law requires that, unless the parties agree or the court orders otherwise, the testimony, as well as any stated objections, be taken stenographically. Existing law requires a party desiring to take the oral deposition of a person to give a notice in writing that provides specified information, including the address and date of the deposition. This bill would require the deposition notice governed by this section to include a statement disclosing the existence of a contractual relationship, if any is known to the noticing party, between the deposition officer or entity providing the services of the deposition officer and the party noticing the deposition or a third party who is financing all or part of the action, as specified. The bill would also require the deposition notice to contain a statement disclosing that the party noticing the deposition, or a third party financing all or part of the action, directed his or her attorney to use a particular officer or entity to provide services for the deposition, if applicable.
