While working on a lawsuit, I went to the house of a 20 year-old fellow still living with his parents, so I could take his deposition. I had once before scheduled a deposition of the fellow, but he had failed to appear. When I arrived for this deposition, I encountered a man who was overseeing the case. Referring to the fact that the fellow whom I was deposing hadn't appeared at the first scheduled deposition, the man told me about a case styled "Greenville v. North Carolina." According to that case, if I called the person I was deposing the day before the deposition and the person didn't show up at the deposition, then I could have sanctions imposed against the person.
I was in the living room of the fellow's home and his whole family was present. I was thinking the deposition was going to be interesting and I was going to enjoy it.
I was given some papers which the fellow had written. Since it appeared he was now trying to cooperate, I doubted I would ask for sanctions against him. It appeared I would be able to complete the deposition with little problem.
