"The primary purpose of a deposition taken pursuant to [the Practice Book rules] is discovery. . . . A response to a question propounded in a deposition is not a judicial admission. General Statutes § 52-200. At trial, in open court, the testimony [of the witness] may contradict her earlier statement [made at the deposition] and a question for the jury to decide may then emerge" Esposito v.Wethered, 4 Conn.
