Re: rescinding statement/deposition
You can not rescind a deposition, but a person who gave a deposition can make written changes to a deposition. He then has to explain why he made the changes in the errata section of the deposition.
On the other hand, a person who gave a written statement could always say they were mistaken as to the previous statement, they would just be subjected to cross-examination and possible impachment due to the inconsistent statements.
