§ 35.150. Scope and conduct of examination.
Unless otherwise directed in the authorization, the deponent may be examined regarding a matter which is relevant to the issues involved in the pending proceeding, including the existence, description, nature, custody, condition and location of a book, document or other tangible thing, and the identity and location of persons having knowledge of relevant facts. A participant shall have the right of cross-examination, objection and exception. In making objections to questions or evidence, the grounds relied upon shall be stated briefly, but no transcript filed by the notarial officer may include argument or debate. Objections to questions or evidence shall be noted by the notarial officer upon the deposition, but he may not have the power to decide on the competency, materiality or relevancy of evidence. Objections to questions or evidence not taken before the notarial officer shall be deemed waived.
