Harsh words and dilatory behavior impair constructive communications among the lawyers involved in the case, raising costs for everyone and short-circuiting opportunities for reaching a settlement prior to trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve written several times about the\u00a0value of professional civility\u00a0and the\u00a0ethical issues raised by uncivil behavior. And we\u2019ve been pleased to note that lawyers recognize the importance of civility in litigation and that, according to one report,\u00a0civility is alive and well within the legal profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what happens when the uncivil behavior emanates from a litigant rather than counsel? Litigants, it turns out, are largely impervious to the checks and balances that promote civility within the legal profession. To what extent can litigators be blamed for their client\u2019s misbehavior during depositions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take, for example, the case of\u00a0<em>Ludwin v. Proman<\/em>, No. 20-81755 (S.D. Fla.), a defamation action in which the defendant could not resist the urge to display contempt for the plaintiffs during his remote video deposition. According to the court opinion\u00a0sanctioning the defendant\u2019s deposition misbehavior, the defendant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>positioned his webcam so it showed only the underside of his chin, refusing requests to re-position the camera to show his face at eye level<\/li><li>stood up and walked around the room during the deposition<\/li><li>moved outside of the camera\u2019s view several times<\/li><li>walked around the room carrying the webcam, disrupting the deposition and causing distraction<\/li><li>threatened to leave the deposition, at one point saying, \u201cmove on or I\u2019ll drop off\u201d<\/li><li>used a voice-activated remote control to watch television (and change the channel several times) during the deposition<\/li><li>refused to mitigate noise disruptions<\/li><li>announced that he was \u201cgoing to take a leak,\u201d asking if he should bring the webcam to the bathroom while he did so<\/li><li>cooked pasta during the deposition<\/li><li>drank what appeared to be wine, tipped his glass, and said \u201ccheers\u201d into the camera<\/li><li>cursed and insulted the plaintiff\u2019s lawyer during the deposition<\/li><li>threatened to leave the deposition<\/li><li>repeatedly asserted his Fifth Amendment privilege against compelled self-incrimination, even when asked if he was cooking or watching television during the deposition<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThroughout the deposition, Defendant Proman acted like a spoiled, entitled child who was thumbing his nose at the deposition process, and thus, at the Court,\u201d the court observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The court appeared to have two main concerns: first, that the remote nature of the deposition had contributed to the defendant\u2019s poor behavior; second, that the defendant\u2019s attorney had not done enough to rein in the defendant\u2019s boorish, on-camera antics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The court remarked that it was \u201ca strong proponent of remote depositions and the use of modern technology to make the litigation process less expensive and more efficient for the parties.\u201d In most cases, the court added, \u201cremote depositions are cost efficient, professional, productive, and effective. This, unfortunately, is not one of those cases.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For sanctions, the defendant was ordered to sit for another deposition and to pay all attorneys\u2019 fees, court reporter fees, and legal videographer fees, incurred by the plaintiffs during the first, remote deposition. The court remarked that it was \u201ctroubled\u201d by the behavior of the defendant\u2019s attorney, though it declined to specify the misbehavior. The next deposition, the court said, will be in-person and in the Southern District of Florida. (The defendant resided in California, and his lawyer at the time was based in New York.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The court also ordered the defendant\u2019s attorney to \u201cfamiliarize himself\u201d with the\u00a0local court rules\u00a0(PDF), particularly the provisions dealing with expectations regarding attorney behavior and the court\u2019s authority to impose discipline on specially admitted attorneys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did these sanctions have their desired impact on the litigation? Apparently not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eight months and 60 docket entries later, the case is limping toward a scheduled Jan. 17, 2023, trial date. The court\u2019s docket sheet, which now contains more than 200 entries, demonstrates how litigation can spiral out of control when the task of resolving a legal dispute takes a backseat to other concerns. The docket reflects a seemingly endless amount of squabbling over pretrial discovery, of shuffling of new counsel in and old counsel out (at one point the defendant represented himself), and the filing of motions in limine, motions to strike expert reports, motions to enforce compliance with prior court orders, motions for protective orders, and motions to extend deadlines and re-schedule court dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d2dzik4ii1e1u6.cloudfront.net\/images\/lexology\/static\/17fcf3f4-36c7-4c6f-ae66-75cebe03aabd.JPG\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfairly or not, courts will usually look to the lawyers to get control of their clients. The court seems to have taken that approach in the\u00a0<em>Ludwin v. Proman<\/em>\u00a0case, though it\u2019s not clear what counsel did wrong or what could have been done to prevent the defendant\u2019s deposition from spiraling out of control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When one of your cases is in need of a construction expert, estimates, insurance appraisal or umpire services in defect or insurance disputes &#8211; please call Advise &amp; Consult, Inc. at 888.684.8305, or email <a href=\"mailto:experts@adviseandconsult.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">experts@adviseandconsult.net<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Esquire Deposition Solutions Seasoned litigators know that incivility toward opposing counsel and their clients is not only unprofessional but is, ultimately, a disservice to the client.
