Legislative History

(1949 Rev., S. 7874; P.A. 78-280, S. 2, 127; P.A. 82-160, S. 72.) History: P.A. 78-280 substituted “judicial district” for “county”; P.A. 82-160 rephrased the section. Infraction of statute does not necessarily render deposition inadmissible. 58 C. 495. Deposition is not an exhibit, but testimony in the custody of the clerk until offered in evidence; court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to admit deposition in which plaintiff had been deprived of complete cross-examination. 164 C. 262. Cited. 211 C. 555; 229 C. 716.
