Good CivPro Question
There is something I was wondering last Thursday. On The OC, Sandy had deposed Caleb's former secretary Renee Wheeler in hopes of finding out this big secret his own client is hiding. Sandy was upset because Ms. Wheeler was no help because she wouldn't answer his questions. I think that is wrong. I think she generally HAS TO answer all the questions at the depositions unless they are privileged or asked in bad faith. There are two questions that come to my mind. First, is having an affair, and subsequently a child, with your boss considered "privileged"? If not, could it be that Hollywood was just b*llsh*tting us and they assumed no one out there would know that the scene was all wrong, because Ms. Wheeler would've had to answer Sandy's questions?Hmmm....
