Primarily in civil case, but it is not totally unknown for depositions to be used in criminal cases as well. However, the restriction on their use in criminal cases is more severe inasmuch as the accused (and the state) have the right to be faced in person, and cross-examine, all witnesses in the case.Depositions are sworn statements (i.e.: given under oath) and those who lie or make false statements while giving them can be charged with perjury.
