SB747

Oklahoma SB747 amends the Oklahoma Discovery Code to allow protective orders against abusive discovery and to prevent deposition of certain officers.

Oklahoma SB747 amends the Oklahoma Discovery Code to allow courts to issue protective orders against abusive discovery practices. It establishes grounds for good cause to issue protective orders to prevent the deposition of certain officers, requiring a specific motion and hearing. The court may limit the scope of depositions of officers lacking unique personal knowledge of some issues. The bill also authorizes the court to vacate or modify orders if additional discovery allows the party to meet their burden.
