Yu Hui Chen v Chen Li Zhi, 2013 NY Slip Op 05815 (2d Dept. 2013)
“On a prior appeal, this Court permitted the plaintiff’s deposition to be conducted by remote electronic means (see Yu Hui Chen v Chen Li Zhi, 81 AD3d 818). By directing that the plaintiff’s deposition be conducted in this manner, this Court was able to reasonably accommodate the plaintiff’s predicament of not being able to travel to New York for the deposition. In light of our determination on that prior appeal, the Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in granting that branch of the plaintiff’s cross motion which was, in effect, for a protective order pursuant to CPLR 3103(a) to the extent of directing that his deposition be conducted by the use of “Skype” or other comparable video-conferencing format.”
Skype has many uses for sure, one of which is to conduct EBTs of those who are in another state or in another part of this state.
