What must a party include in the notice of deposition for an Eos Worldwide arbitration?

According to the 2025 Eos Worldwide Franchise Disclosure Document, a party wishing to take a deposition must describe with reasonable particularity, in the notice of deposition, the matters to be inquired into at the deposition. If Eos Worldwide is the party being deposed, they must designate at least one representative who consents to testify on their behalf.

This means that if a franchisee or Eos Worldwide seeks to depose a witness during arbitration, the notice must clearly specify the topics that will be covered during the deposition. This requirement ensures that the opposing party is aware of the scope of the deposition and can prepare accordingly.

For Eos Worldwide, this means they must provide a representative to testify on their behalf. This ensures that the company is properly represented during the deposition process. This requirement aims to streamline the discovery process in arbitration, focusing on relevant and well-defined areas of inquiry while also ensuring fair representation.
