Rule 1.703 - Deposition notice to parties in default

A party requiring proof to obtain a judgment against a defaulted party may take depositions after serving notice on the attorney of record for the defaulted party, or on any defaulted party having no attorney of record. Parties in default are not entitled to notice as to depositions taken under any other rule.

Iowa. R. Civ. P. 1.703

Report 1943; October 31,1997, effective January 24, 1998; November 9,2001, effective February 15,2002.

COMMENT: The rule eliminates the requirement that a copy of the deposition notice be served on the Clerk if the defaulted party has no attorney and adds a requirement that notice be given to any defaulted party who has no attorney of record.
