California Court of Appeal October 23, 2006, G037421 (Carehouse Convalescent Hospital v. Superior Court)

Opinion

SILLS, P. J.

The adversarial system of justice presumes that the attorneys for each side oppose one another, not depose one another. We issue a peremptory writ because plaintiffs have failed to make the requisite showing of “extremely” good cause to overcome the presumption against taking the deposition of defense counsel Kippy Wroten.
