However, in some cases, it may be taken at the instance of any party by deposition upon oral examination or written interrogatories even outside Court.  Deposition is a mode of discovery and is intended as an aid to litigation. If it is not used for discovery purposes then it cannot be admitted and should be disallowed.  This is explained in this case of Connie.
