Terms Used In New Hampshire Revised Statutes 517:12
- Deposition: An oral statement made before an officer authorized by law to administer oaths. Such statements are often taken to examine potential witnesses, to obtain discovery, or to be used later in trial.
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
If any party after giving notice to the adverse party neglects or refuses to take a deposition the adverse party may be allowed as costs such amount as the court may deem equitable, not exceeding twenty-five cents a mile for actual travel of himself or his attorney to attend the same, and may have judgment and execution therefor unless notice in writing that the deposition will not be taken, signed by the party giving the original notice, is seasonably given to such adverse party.
