Depositions are probably the most powerful discovery tool.
How Does Discovery Work? There are four main types of discovery requests: (1) depositions; (2) interrogatories; (3) requests for admissions; and (4) requests for the production of documents. Depositions are formal witness interviews.
Steps Of The Discovery Process. There are four key actions in the discovery process which include interrogatories, request for documents, request for admissions, and depositions.
Discovery Served with the Statement of Claim / Complaint If a written discovery request is served upon a Defendant contemporaneously with Plaintiff's complaint, Defendant must serve its responses to the discovery within 45 days of the date of service of Plaintiff's Complaint.
The first phase of the discovery process is the written discovery phase. During this phase, your attorney may send and receive requests to produce documents, requests for admissions of facts, and written interrogatories.
In the United States, there are five basic forms of discovery: depositions, interrogatories, requests for production of documents (or permission to inspect), physical and mental examinations, and requests for admission.
The discovery process is the way you (and the other party) learn more about the case. It includes an opportunity to look at documents the other side has that relate to the case. You also have an opportunity to ask the other side questions about what happened.
After discovery, lawyers begin preparing for trial. They'll sort through evidence, argue legal issues to posture the case for trial, design their trial strategy and themes, and more. In addition, your lawyer may file motions asking the court for rulings in the case.
A motion for protective order does not automatically stay the deposition and the deposition shall proceed unless an order granting the motion is entered by the Court.
