A deposition, almost by definition, is a waste of time and
resources for a corporate defendant and its otherwise productively
engaged employees. A deposition of the CEO or other
senior level manager, particularly in a liability suit involving
one of the company’s products or services about which the
executive will know very little, is not only a waste of valuable
time, but also is fraught with danger. The danger comes not
only from the inevitable lack of knowledge by the CEO of
day-to-day activities of a large business enterprise, but all too
often from the very personality that propelled the person to
such executive heights.
