The appellate division in Azria v Azria ruled that there was no showing that the information sought was crucial to resolving a key issue in the litigation and therefore upheld the trial court’s denial of letters rogatory.
Letters rogatory are a formal request from one jurisdiction’s court to another. In this case the wife sought the letters in order to depose a witness in France. This would be required as France is a sovereign nation and its citizens are not required to obey the mandates of a foreign government (so a judicial so-ordered subpoena from a New York court would not have any “teeth” in France).
