A proposed law would change the time to complete a
deposition from unlimited duration to 7 hours. Currently the law requires the
party objecting to the length of the deposition to suspend the deposition and
to seek a protective order.
The new law would allow the parties to stipulate to a longer
time of deposition if the nature of the case warranted. The idea is to stop
abusive and wasteful interrogations. Interestingly, employment cases are
excluded from the proposed legislation as a class of cases. See Assembly Bill
1875 seeking to amend CCP § 2025.010.
