apex deposition

The deposition of a person whose position is at the highest level of a company’s hierarchy.

• Courts often preclude an apex deposition unless (1) the person to be deposed has particular knowledge regarding the claim, and (2) the requesting party cannot obtain the requested — and discoverable — information through less intrusive means. [Cases: Federal Civil Procedure 1325; Pretrial Procedure 101. C.J.S. Discovery § 17.]
