what happens after a deposition 
after a deposition has been finished transcriptions and or video recordings of the testimony are sent to both sides lawyers for review and analysis the depositions along with other evidence collected during the discovery period will either lead to a settlement out of court or a trial can you refuse a deposition if you are subpoenaed to sit for a deposition you must show up by law and answer the questions honestly and to the best of your knowledge failure to show up could result in imprisonment for contempt of court and forced into a deposition there lying under oath can result in the crime of perjury
