Consider This Cancellation Scenario for Additional Guidance
Let's say you want to cancel a deposition scheduled for 2:00 PM EST on October 10. You are then required under our cancellation policy to confirm your decision by 4:00 PM EST on October 9, assuming October 9 is the prior business day.
If you confirm your cancellation after 4:00 PM EST on October 9, you have missed the required cancellation deadline and are subject to cancellation fees.
*If a job is fully remote, the job must be canceled before 4:00pm of the time zone of the court in which the case is venued.
