Court reporters prepare transcripts after a deposition, on the delivery schedule ordered. If the witness did not waive reading and signing, the witness reviews the transcript and may submit an errata sheet listing corrections.
The deadline
In federal cases, the witness generally has 30 days after being told the transcript is available, if review was requested before the deposition ended. Florida's rule has its own procedure. Counsel confirms the deadline that applies.
Track each transcript
- Witness and deposition date.
- Date ordered, and the delivery promised.
- Date received, and the cost.
- Whether reading and signing was waived.
- The errata due date, and when it was sent.
