The complex rules governing depositions of organizations may be about to change. An upcoming rule review by the Civil Rules Advisory Committee (“Committee”) could result in one of the biggest developments in the way discovery is handled since the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (“FRCP”) amendments went into effect on Dec. 1, 2015. Those amendments were highlighted as “a major stride toward a better federal court system” by Chief Justice Roberts in his 2015 year-end report on the judiciary. The upcoming review of Rule 30(b)(6) could result in significant changes to how federal courts handle depositions of organizations including corporations, partnerships, associations and governmental agencies.
