“When an examination before trial is conducted pursuant to a commission issued by a foreign court, logic requires that all issues regarding the propriety of questions put to the witness be referred to the trial court. The rules governing disclosure differ from those concerning admissibility, and questions regarding admissibility are ultimately the province of the trial court. Even questions with respect to the scope of discovery are more appropriately determined under the law of the jurisdiction where the matter is ultimately to be tried. In this regard, Matter of Shea Gould Climenko & Casey, 98 Misc.2d 484 , 414 N.Y.S.2d 80 is singularly on point. There, respondent resisted disclosure of certain documents on the ground of attorney-client privilege. The court declined to decide the issue reasoning that its ruling would be academic. "Since the trial will be held in Pennsylvania, the admissibility of evidence and rulings in connection therewith (including the asserted claim of privilege) will all be determined at trial by the Pennsylvania court. Under these circumstances the issue should be determined in accordance with the applicable rules of evidence in Pennsylvania, and the law of Pennsylvania governing attorney-client privilege. The issue should also be decided upon consideration of the Pennsylvania law applicable to the extent of discovery. The New York law concerning those matters is irrelevant to the conduct and management of the Pennsylvania trial. " The opinion further ”
