Fireman's Fund Ins. Co. v. Superior Court

In Fireman's Fund Ins. Co. v. Superior Court (1977) 72 Cal.App.3d 786, the Court held only that a defendant was entitled to take the deposition of plaintiff's attorney who represented plaintiff in the prior matter. The court remarked: "It does not appear that petitioner seeks to obtain privileged information or counsel's work product. Of course if such attempt is made during the deposition, Mr. Smolen the deponent-attorney will have available adequate means to prevent it." ( Fireman's Fund, supra, 72 Cal.App.3d 786, 790.)
