Depositions.


Practice point: Depositions of parties to an action are generally held in the county where the action is pending.

Student note:  If a party demonstrates that conducting his deposition in that county would cause undue hardship, the Supreme Court, in its exercise of discretion, can order the deposition to be held elsewhere.

Case: Weinstein v. Gindi, NY Slip Op 01175 (1st Dept. 2012).


Monday’s issue: Pleading with particularity.
