Too Bad you don't live in Connecticut. The judges are more receptive to enforcement of a judgment. If the deposition were for purposes of pretrial discovery you could move to default the defendant for failure to comply with discovery....then move for a judgment after default (no trial). If the deposition was for discovery of assets after trial you could move for a capias for the arrest and detention of the defendant for failure to comply with a subpoena. (Contempt) Works like a charm. I did it two years ago. Amazing how fast payment of the judgment was forthcominig when the defendant's choice was a 60 day jail term....and successive jail terms for non-compliance with future subpoenas. As long as the defendant is still in business...all is not lost. The defendant's receivables are subject to garnishment. The last thing the defendant wants is to have a state marshal walking into his clients' places of business to inquire about funds due and owing to the plaintiff.but then that is Connecticut.
