Caputo v. Public Service Coordinated Transport

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• recognizing that Rule 30(b)(6) is “abused” where deposition is “nothing more than duplicative of the discovery already provided”
• concluding that the issue of duplication is usually no reason to prevent the 30(b)(6) deposition from going forward, and that any issues of duplication or unnecessary expenditure of time can be addressed once the deposition has been taken
• reasoning that there is “no principle of law that precludes a party from pursuing during a deposition a topic about which it has already received information via other discovery devices”
• declining to apply the deliberative process privilege in a case alleging malicious prosecution and abuse of process
• “Listing several categories and stating that the inquiry may extend beyond the enumerated topics defeats the purpose of having any topics at all.”
• ordering in camera review of documents to determine if government-misconduct exception applies
