WAC 208-08-080. Depositions upon oral examination

(1) Recording, signing, and filing of transcripts. If a deposition is allowed, it shall be recorded, including all questions and objections. If one of the parties orders a transcript, the testimony must be transcribed verbatim under the direction of the court reporter, who must certify the transcript. The witness must sign the transcript or waive signature. If a deposition is transcribed, the court reporter must file the original transcript and any exhibits to it with the presiding officer. The witness and any party may purchase a copy of the transcript from the court reporter. (2) Cost. The party requesting the deposition must pay the cost of the deposition, including any sitting or facility fee. A party ordering a copy of a transcript must make appropriate arrangements to pay the court reporter. (3) Videotaping of depositions. If a videotaped deposition is allowed, Superior Court Civil Rule 30 (b)(8) applies.
