It
is the intent of the General Assembly that depositions shall be taken in
criminal cases only in exceptional circumstances when it is in the interest of
justice that the testimony of a prospective witness be taken and preserved for
use at trial. If the court finds that any party or counsel for a party is using
the procedures set forth in this article for the purpose of harassment or delay,
such conduct may be punished as contempt of court.
