ANNOTATION
Section gives Colorado courts control over discovery by foreign litigants. This section and § 13-90-111, while providing a means for ensuring the testimony of potential Colorado deponents by parties to a suit outside Colorado, also ensure a degree of supervision and control over discovery by the courts in Colorado by requiring a commission or dedimus potestatem from the foreign court which has jurisdiction over the underlying suit. Such a requirement thus serves not only as a check on unfettered and unwarranted discovery in Colorado by foreign litigants, but also protects the interests of the parties to the litigation against whom the discovered material is sought to be used. Falzon v. Home Ins. Co., 661 P.2d 696 (Colo. App. 1982).
Applied in Metro. Life Ins. Co. v. Kaufman, 104 Colo. 13, 87 P.2d 758 (1939).
