What is the limit on depositions?

Five Ten Fifteen Twenty

Correct Answer:

Ten

Explanation:

The limit on depositions is ten per party. In federal practice, each side may depose up to ten individuals by oral examination without needing the court’s permission. This cap is counted per party, so each party in the case has its own ten-deposition allowance. If more than ten are needed, the party must seek leave from the court (usually by showing good cause) or the parties can stipulate to allow additional depositions. Note that certain depositions, such as those of a party or a corporation’s designated representative under Rule 30(b)(6), count toward that party’s limit.
