A:
No, it is not the implied responsibility of the deposition officer to ensure the delivery of a meet and confer letter to a witness. The primary role of the deposition officer is to manage the deposition process, which includes recording statements and maintaining accurate transcripts of the proceedings.
Handling legal documents, such as meet and confer letters, typically falls under the duties of the attorneys involved in the case. It is the responsibility of the parties’ legal representatives to communicate necessary information and ensure that all relevant documents are properly delivered to the appropriate individuals, including witnesses.
If there is uncertainty about the delivery process, it’s best to consult with your attorney to establish the correct protocol. They can provide guidance on the proper channels for delivering such letters and ensure that all procedural requirements are met to support your case effectively.
