District Court of Appeal of Florida

Defendants petition for a writ of certiorari challenging an order denying their motion for a protective order as to depositions of high level corporate officers is denied in a suit involving the lost value of plaintiffs' investments since the "apex doctrine" has not been expressly adopted in Florida and, even if it were, it would not apply.
