Cal. Civ. Code § 11-25-15
Depositions to be taken.
Operative Text
Depositions may be taken to be read on the trial, in the same manner and under the same circumstances as in cases before justices of the peace. History Codes, 1892, § 4467; 1906, § 5046; Hemingway’s 1917, § 3318; 1930, § 3463; 1942, § 1040.
Miss. Code Ann. tit. 11, ch. 25 § 11-25-15 establishes that depositions — sworn out-of-court testimony — may be taken and later used as evidence at trial in the same way they are used in proceedings before justices of the peace. This provision sets a procedural standard for how pre-trial testimony is gathered and introduced, tying the rules for these depositions to an existing, familiar framework. The rule does not create new substantive rights but instead governs the mechanics of evidence collection for trial.

Under Miss. Code Ann. tit. 11, ch. 25 § 11-25-15, property owners involved in litigation governed by this chapter should be aware that depositions taken before trial can be introduced as evidence during the proceeding, following the same procedural rules applicable to justice-of-the-peace courts. Operators and managers who anticipate disputes that may reach trial generally ensure that any testimony gathered through deposition complies with these established procedural standards. Familiarity with this framework helps property owners understand how witness testimony may be preserved and presented in court.

Miss. Code Ann. tit. 11, ch. 25 § 11-25-15 means that in proceedings under this chapter, a tenant's sworn testimony — or that of a witness relevant to a tenant's case — may be taken as a deposition before trial and used as evidence when the case is heard. This can be relevant when a witness is unavailable to appear in person at trial, as the deposition process provides a recognized way to preserve that testimony. Tenants who believe this procedural rule applies to their situation may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource to understand how deposition procedures could affect their case.
