Say What?! – Did He Really Ask That?

Originally published by .


This marvelous contribution is from Mike J. Bowers of Dallas (Bell Nunnally & Martin, L.L.P.) — who writes, “It has taken 20 years and countless depositions, but finally I have a deposition excerpt that I hope is worthy of your including in your article in the Texas Bar Journal.”


Bowers explains: “The deposition excerpt comes from a case in which I represent a homeowners association that is suing numerous defendants regarding defective construction of its high-rise condominium tower.” Darrell Smith of Cutler & Smith in Dallas is questioning an architect about a consultant who was hired by the architect to assist with certain functions during the construction of the condominium tower. “Sadly, the architect is no longer with us,” Bowers writes, which leads to this exchange:


Q. (By Mr. Smith) Okay. Do you know when Mr. Reynolds passed away?


A. Not exactly, no.


Q. Okay. It was after — after you had talked to him?


A. Oh, yes.


MR. SMITH: Alright. Obviously …


MR. BOWERS: That’s going to the Texas Bar Journal!


MR. SMITH: Alright. That’s right.


MR. BOWERS: I’ve always wanted one. I’ve finally got one to send in. It took 20 years.
