Hill v. Thomas B. Jeffery Co. green
ill · 1920
1 sentence

1926In Hill v. Jeffery Co. 292 Ill. 490 , in discussing the question of the power to compel a party to testify by deposition, the point was raised that the statute with reference thereto was unconstitutional because it was not mutual and could not apply to a corporation, and the court said: “The difference between natural persons and corporations is a sufficiently manifest reason for a difference in the rule of law as to taking the depositions of parties.” While that case is not directly in point here, the reasoning is applicable.
