Legal Question in Administrative Law in Florida

Abuse of Service

I was served with many papers, included in one of the packets of papers was a notice of deposition. The N.O.D. was attached to other documents regarding the case. It was not filed with the court. According to the definition of abuse of service, I have learned that it is a practice that some lawyers use thinking that they are clever, in order to intimidate a Plaintiff or Defendant. I can understand the logic and reasoning for this practice. My question...(finally) Is what is the legal recourse for securing a decision or whould this be possibly grounds for favorable judgement, based in part on the abuse of service tactic that was used in order to intimidate? I did attend the deposition.

Re: Abuse of Service

I don't see that the attorney did anything wrong, plus by attending the deposition you have already waived any objection to any imroper notice that there may have been for scheduling your deposition.

Good luck with your case,
