I wasn't being picky..just doing one of those reality checks.

But speaking of picky, you caught me at a lol moment. I was just reading a case, where the following exchange from a deposition is recounted in a footnote.


n5 As an example of International's discourtesy, we quote from the deposition transcript following the request for the documents asserted by Montrose (and joined in by another party, Stauffer Chemical Company):

"Mr. Freitas [International's attorney]: Go ahead and ask your questions.

"Mr. Jacobs [Stauffer's attorney]: Do you have a response to [our] polite request to you?

"Mr. Freitas: I just made my polite response, which was go ahead and ask your questions.

"Mr. Jacobs: I think we are entitled to a little more than that, Mr. Freitas.

"Mr. Freitas: I said go ahead and ask your questions.

"Mr. Conn [Montrose's attorney]: I presume you are refusing to turn over the documents?

"Mr. Freitas: Absolutely not.

"Mr. Jacobs: Are you agreeing to produce the documents?

"Mr. Freitas: No.

"Mr. Conn: Are you taking a position?

"Mr. Freitas: I am taking a position.

"Mr. Conn: What is that?

"Mr. Freitas: Ask your questions." [***10]


(The case is International Ins. Co. v. Montrose Chemical Corp., 231 Cal. App. 3d 1367 if anyone cares.)
