§ 6-329. Stipulations regarding discovery procedure.

§ 6-329. Stipulations regarding discovery procedure.

   Unless the court orders otherwise, the parties may by written or otherwise recorded stipulation:

   (1) Provide that depositions may be taken before any person, at any time or place, upon any notice, and in any manner and when so taken may be used like other depositions, and

   (2) Modify the procedures provided by these rules for other methods of discovery.

COMMENT TO RULE 29

 

   This provision is essentially new. It again authorizes the common practice of stipulations on discovery. It follows federal rule 29, but does not exclude certain subjects from stipulations as does the federal language. Similar language was originally included in former Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1267.19 (Repealed 1982), but had been dropped prior to the repeal of that section as the section had been amended several times to cover a different topic.
