In the wake of COVID-19, litigators all across the United States are noticing an old, yet infrequently utilized, evidentiary tool emerge to address unexpected trial witness unavailability: the de bene esse deposition. A Latin legal term literally translated to “of well being,” the phrase refers to various acts which are conditional, provisional or anticipatory. De bene esse proceedings have been used in traditional English law (and in the London market) for hundreds of years; as far back as in the 1744 publication Equity Cases Abridged, the phrase was used to describe the deposition of a witness before trial in the Court of Chancery. In the context of American law, a proceeding de bene esse is one "which [is] taken ex parte or provisionally and [is] allowed to stand as well done for the present." See Black's Law Dictionary, 5th edition.
