In addition to other points about “apex depositions,” the supreme court rejected an argument that an unreasonable delay barred mandamus relief: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“American reasonably explained the year-long period between the trial court\u2019s order compelling Eberwein\u2019s deposition and American\u2019s mandamus filing in the court of appeals. The record establishes that American did not receive notice of the order until four months after its issuance. At that point, the parties were on notice that the order set preconditions to Eberwein\u2019s deposition by requiring Arnette to serve a new deposition notice designating deposition topics. To date, neither has occurred, with no explanation on Arnette\u2019s part. As the trial date loomed, first in December 2020 and now in December 2021, American prudently sought mandamus relief to avoid the necessity of rescheduling the trial. On this record, the delay is neither unexplained nor unreasonable.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
