21-56.1411. DEPOSITIONS

The Board will not allow the use of depositions except when the hardship to a person, otherwise available to be subpoenaed as a witness, is so great as to be unreasonable in light of the testimony that person may be expected to give. In such case the deposition will be taken in accordance with the North Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure. All necessary rulings as to whether a deposition will be allowed or as to methods of securing a deposition are within the power and discretion of the chairman.
