Toyota Motor Corp. v Superior Court 197 Cal.App.4th 1107 (2/5) (2011) Plaintiff moved to compel Toyota’s Japanese-resident employees depositions in California. Granted, writ issued. San-Diego-Auto-Accident-lawyer [1] CCP § 2025.260(a) gives trial court discretion to order deposition of party’s officers employees etc. further than 75/150 miles from deponent’s residence. But CCP § 1989 prohibits trial court from compelling out-of-state resident (at time of service) to testify in California. Legislative history: 1986 amendment dropped “notwithstanding § 1989,” an intentional omission which must be given effect. Glass 204 CA3d 1048 rejected. San Diego personal injury attorney
