Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Illinois

We were being sued at our company by employee for negligence in fixing a seat on a truck he drove that he Amy's hurt his back which by the way was not true at all

Today at our deposition the opposing counsel noticed we had notes to refer to about our case and really our defense strategy and timeline of events

That lawyer sequestered those personal handwritten notes which seemed to surprise us alot

Is he allowed to do that?

Thanks bill
