Opinion
No. 95-1356.
July 5, 1995. Rehearing Denied August 16, 1995.
Petition from the Circuit Court, Dade County, Alan L. Postman, J.
Clark, Sparkman, Robb Nelson and James K. Clark, Miami, for petitioner.
Anthony J. Scremin, Miami, for respondent.
Before BARKDULL, NESBITT and LEVY, JJ.
In the absence of extraordinary circumstances not shown to exist here, the deposition of a non-resident officer of a non-resident corporate defendant not seeking affirmative relief is to be taken at deponent's place of residence and the trial court should not require that party to advance travel costs to counsel in connection therewith. For this reason, the order requiring the within petitioner to advance travel costs is quashed. Madax Int'l Corp. v. Delcher Intercontinental Moving Services, Inc., 342 So.2d 1082 (Fla. 2d DCA 1977).
