Sessoms — Supreme Court resets Rule 30(b)(6) discovery sanctions in vehicle-death suit
The Supreme Court held that a Rule 30(b)(6) deponent does not have to obtain a protective order before the deposition to preserve objections to noticed topics. It also held that the trial court could not require defendants to create new English-language versions of documents already produced in Japanese. The Court reversed in relevant part, directed that the discovery order be vacated, and remanded for a fresh application of the governing rules.
