Rule 2-513.Testimony taken by telephone.

Rule 2-513 no longer imposes any requirements. It once addressed testimony taken by telephone, but it was rescinded effective July 1, 2018, and the rule number now sits empty in the Maryland Rules. Anyone researching how telephone or remote testimony works in a Maryland civil case today needs to look elsewhere in the current rules — this entry exists to flag that the number was retired rather than to describe live procedure.

Seeing "Rescinded" attached to a rule number is not unusual in a body of rules that gets amended regularly. It means the rulemaking authority decided the topic no longer needed its own standalone rule at this location, whether because the subject was folded into another rule, superseded by a different approach, or dropped altogether. Treat any citation to Rule 2-513 in older material as a signal to check what governs the same subject under the current rules.
