Structure of HCA 13/71: First 100 folios
How is HCA 13/71 structured in terms of cases, depositions, and other types of legal document?
Colin: We can not yet answer this definitively, since we have transcribed just over one third of the volume
However, inspection of the first one hundred folios gives some insight into the considerable size variation in both cases and depositions. Cases can have just one or two depositions, each of just one or two pages. Or cases can stretch to five or six depositions of ten or more pages each, and have both depositions for the plaintiff case and depositions for the defendants case.
