What is a deposition letter?

A deposition letter is a formal communication typically used in legal proceedings to notify an individual that they are required to provide testimony under oath, usually in a pre-trial setting. It outlines the details of the deposition, including the date, time, location, and the matters to be discussed. This letter serves to prepare the deponent for the questioning process and ensures that they are aware of their legal obligations. It is an important part of the discovery phase in litigation.
