Trial Depositions
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
Text
(A) Once a deposition of a witness is noticed, if a party wishes to take the deposition to preserve testimony for trial, that party may, at his option, proceed with his examination first; upon completion of the direct examination, the cross-examination of the witness by the other parties shall proceed as if on discovery or on such other terms as the parties may agree. Any party shall have the right to preserve such testimony by means of a videotape deposition. (B) In order to enable the Court to control the trial calendar, and recognizing the difficulty in obtaining the attendance of witnesses in some admiralty cases, the Court may, in appropriate cases order that a video deposition be taken for use at trial. -15- LOCAL RULES OF ADMIRALTY INDEX INTERVENTION Liability for costs by intervenor .................................................................................................. 7B Parties who may intervene ...........................................................................................................
