Attorneys getting a free copy

[Kerry F]

How does everyone handle this?  I had a depo this afternoon of an expert.  His attorney representing the plaintiff was out of town on the phone.  Taking attorney was there in person and ordered the 0&1. Now I KNOW the plaintiff's attorney has got to need his copy of his expert's depo.  He doesn't order one, but I'm supposed to send an electronic copy to the witness, who is local where I am, to read and sign his depo.  I know the witness is going to give him a copy when he gets it.  I've had this happen before.  When it's an out of state reporting firm I took the job for, they actually found a local office to have the witness come read a hard copy.  Boy they were mad.  Ended up buying a copy after all.  What does everyone think about this?   Of course, he probably tape recorded it over the phone anyway.

Janiece,

If we send him a paper copy, they'll still have a "free" copy.

Yes, Janiece, sending a paper copy IS a free copy. And I say NO WAY.
