He’s required to wear a mask. He can’t wear one while giving the deposition though. A remote deposition isn’t different than an in person one. So this argument falls flat. Why require a person to travel if we have the technology to not? Why did we even do all of this Internet building if our government services won’t use it? Technology is supposed to make our lives easier. The 80 year old judge is clearly behind the technical times and doesn’t want to learn a skill that should be required at this point.
Well look at the information out there on the pros and cons of remote depositions. In person seems to be better as the remote in the US still is not a mature solution, riddled with technical difficulties.
It’s there to stay and will mature, but it’s not there yet. Covid pushed everyone to ignore some of the drawbacks but they are still there.
I have no clue if the judge is indeed 80 years old, but in the end the judge has free reign over their cours proceedings.
