Over Defense Objection, Plaintiff Can Compel Videotaping of Her Deposition
In a case of first impression, a New Jersey judge has ruled that a plaintiff can compel the videotaping of her own deposition, even if the deposing party opposes it. Superior Court Judge Rachelle Harz wrote that a plaintiff-driven recording does not run afoul of the state court rule governing videotaped depositions and that any party may videotape a deposition. She added that videotaping "has become an acceptable method of creating a deposition record and is widely embraced by the legal profession."
