Answer:
You can object to specific questions during a deposition if they are asked in bad faith or are intended to annoy, embarrass, or oppress you. Additionally, you may refuse to answer questions that involve privileged information. However, generally, the questioner can ask any questions that are likely to uncover relevant evidence.This content is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice.
