The Discovery Act Is Not a Suicide Pact.

Certainteed Corp. v. Superior Court, No. B253308 (D2d3 Jan 8, 2014)

In a case that spanned barely two weeks from writ petition to writ granted, the court of appeal grants a peremptory writ ruling that the trial court has the discretion to permit a terminally ill plaintiff’s deposition to extend beyond the newly-imposed fourteen hour limit in Code of Civil Procedure § 2025.290(b)(3).
