Heading: Crucial to the Preparation of the Case

Text: The information the Defendants seek to obtain by deposing Holliday is relevant in determining whether the Plaintiffs' claims are barred by the statute of limitations. As stated previously, once a plaintiffs cause of action has accrued, he must file suit within one year, or else his claim is barred by the statute of limitations. [29] The information the Defendants seek to obtain could very well determine the ultimate outcome in this case. We therefore see no way that this information is not crucial to the preparation of the Defendants' case. The information the Defendants seek to obtain by deposing Holliday is relevant and not privileged, not capable of being obtained by other means, and crucial to the preparation of the case. Therefore, the trial court did not act erroneously in permitting the Defendants to depose Holliday.
