§ 25A-27. Depositions; In General

In addition to other provisions for discovery and subject to the provisions of Sections 13-2, 13-3 and 13-5, any party who has appeared in any Title IV-D matter or in any matter under General Statutes §§ 46b-212 through 46b-213w where the judicial authority finds it reasonably probable that evidence outside the record will be required, may, at any time after the commencement of the action or proceeding, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this chapter, take the testimony of any person, including a party, by deposition upon oral examination. The attendance of witnesses may be compelled by subpoena as provided in Section 13-28. The attendance of a party deponent or of an officer, director, or managing agent of a party may be compelled by notice to the named person or such person's attorney in accordance with the requirements of Section 13-27 (a). The deposition of a person confined in prison may be taken only by leave of the judicial authority on such terms as the judicial authority prescribes.

Leave of the court for such a deposition is required. Motions for the taking of a deposition shall include the proposed notice of the deposition and the identification of such documents or other tangible evidence as may be sought to be subpoenaed. Only those documents or other tangible evidence approved by the judicial authority shall be permitted to be subpoenaed from the deponent.
