Prior to scheduling any discovery deposition, counsel should first attempt to arrange a date and time satisfactory to all counsel. Only if a mutually convenient date and time cannot be arranged after a good faith effort to do so may the counsel scheduling the deposition select a date and time without the consent of the other parties. Unless ordered by the court, or as otherwise permitted by the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, any discovery deposition not scheduled upon consent of the parties may be scheduled only after written notice has been given by the party scheduling the deposition to opposing counsel and any unrepresented party. The written notice must be served upon opposing counsel and on any unrepresented party by hand delivery, fax transmission or first class United States mail at least 14 days prior to the date scheduled for the deposition.
