Judge Rules Halle Berry Can't Depose Ex Olivier Martinez

Lack of Exigent Circumstances Cited as Reason

In a recent ruling, a judge has denied Halle Berry's request to depose her ex-husband, Olivier Martinez, in their ongoing legal battle. The judge cited a lack of exigent circumstances as the reason for the denial.

Exigent Circumstances

Exigent circumstances are circumstances that allow law enforcement officers to enter a home without a warrant. In this case, the judge determined that there were no exigent circumstances that would have allowed Berry to depose Martinez without his consent.

The judge further explained that if Berry's request could have been addressed in a properly noticed motion, she would have needed to provide compelling reasons to justify the deposition.
