Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

Ebt

I am a plaintiff pro se in a Civil action. Defendant's attoney agreed to produce his client for a deposition at a location near my home and verything was all set. He now informs me that he will only produce his client at his offices. Does he have the right to do this, or is there any law/regulation that states that he must come to the location I set?

Re: Ebt

I don't recall ever hearing of a significant dispute between attorneys over the location of a deposition. Depositions are generally held in the county where the action is pending unless another county is more convenient for all. No one cares which office is used. I have a big, quiet and comfortable conference room and my adversaries routinely agree to come to me for those reasons.

If Defense counsel's office is in the county where the action is pending, just do it there and don't make a stink. You'll only aggravate the court.
