Powers & Duties of Notary

During a civil deposition before a notary, counsel makes objections and tells the officer to ignore them because they are for the judge later. What must the officer do under CPLR 3113?

A

Ignore the objections and continue without any notation.

B

Terminate the deposition immediately whenever an objection is made.

C

Put the witness on oath and note the objections upon the deposition.

D

Send every objection to the county clerk for authentication.

Correct Answer

C. Put the witness on oath and note the objections upon the deposition.

AI Explanation

The deposition officer has an active procedural role. CPLR 3113 requires the officer to put the witness on oath and to note objections made at the time of the examination. In contrast, a notary taking an ordinary acknowledgment does not create a deposition record with noted objections.
