"The Friends of Facebook lady has been coming to all the board and gen'l membership mtgs since October I believe... The deposition has nothing to do w/the terminated employees. It "may" have something to do with what was said at the last board mtg bc of the timing of her deposition chatter."
I am now seriously confused. A deposition is part of a legal process:
It is the out-of-court oral testimony of a witness that is reduced to writing for later use in court or for discovery purposes. To ensure an accurate record of statements made during a deposition, a court reporter is present and transcribes the deposition. Prior to taking a deposition, the court reporter administers the same oath or affirmation that the deponent would take if the testimony were being given in court in front of a judge and jury.
Depositions - including lawyers' and the court reporter's fees - are very expensive.
Perhaps someone in this situation is misusing the word "deposition". If not, I repeat my question, what other lawsuit is the Board involved in. And, if there is another lawsuit, I'll add the question - Why hasn't the membership been informed?
