What is the purpose of an errata sheet in the context of depositions?

To summarize the deposition
To correct errors in the transcript
To request additional time
To file a formal complaint

The correct answer is: To correct errors in the transcript

The purpose of an errata sheet in the context of depositions is to correct errors in the transcript. When a deposition is taken, it is recorded, often in written form, to create a verbatim account of the proceedings. However, upon review, deponents (the individuals being questioned) may identify mistakes, inaccuracies, or typographical errors in the transcript. An errata sheet allows these individuals to provide corrections to ensure that the official record accurately reflects their testimony. This process not only maintains the integrity of the deposition but also ensures that all parties involved have an accurate representation of the statements made during the proceedings.
