Relevant factsFree
After Polycast (plaintiff) alleged Uniroyal (defendant) provided misleading financial information about a subsidiary Uniroyal sold to it, Uniroyal deposed Deloitte partner Michael Bowman about an audit, but gaps remained due to his inability to recall every detail; Uniroyal then sought to depose another Deloitte employee, Gregory Durant, who was also involved with the audit, and Deloitte moved for a protective order barring that second deposition.
IssueFree
Whether a party can successfully bar a deposition if it would be largely, but not totally, duplicative of a deposition already taken.
