For example if the adverse attorney says “Objection to the foundation” this report tells you:
If requested by the questioning attorney, then the objecting attorney must identify what is necessary to correct the lack of foundation for the deponent to answer. Failure to specify the portion of foundation missing (if requested to do so) is usually a waiver of the objection.< The most common foundation objection made is - lack of personal knowledge by the deponent. If the lack of foundation can be cured at the deposition, the objection is waived if not made at the deposition. Hence, lack of an objection at the deposition allows the deposition testimony to be used at trial, even if there was a lack of personal knowledge. See, e.g., Collom v. Pierson, 411 N.W.2d 92 (N.D. 1987) (“…an objection to foundation at a deposition is futile unless it is sufficiently specific to afford the opposing party opportunity to cure it.”) See also, e.g., United States v. Michaels, 726 F.2d 1307, 1314 (8th Cir. 1984)(Foundation objections require specificity).
