**CCRA BREAKING NEWS**
Effective January 1, 2012, we can split bill Superior Court cases!
See below:
Also effective on 1-1-2012 is the requirement that parties bear their own costs for a copy of a transcript of a deposition. Plaintiffs will not have to pay for defendants' copies
of depositions any more. The new section reads:
(j) The party on whose behalf a deposition is taken shall [at such party's expense provide] bear the
cost of the original transcript, and any permanent electronic record including audio or video tape.
Any party or the deponent may obtain a copy of the deposition transcript and [any] permanent
electronic record including audio or video tape [to each adverse party] at its own expense.
C O M M EN T A R Y : The prior version of the rule provided that the party on w hose behalf a deposition is
taken shall, at such party's expense, provide a copy of the deposition transcript and any permanent electronic
record, including audio or video tape, to each adverse party. The federal courts and the majority of states
have rules requiring adverse parties to pay for their own deposition copies. In cases with multiple parties, the
cost of providing these copies can be prohibitive. This revision makes Connecticut practice consistent with that
of the federal courts and the majority of the states by requiring any other party or deponent to pay for his or her own copy of the deposition or any permanent electronic record.
