                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

UNIFORMITY OF APPLICATION AND CONSTRUCTION; RECIPROCAL PRIVILEGES (§
8.01-412.14)

In applying and construing this uniform act, consideration shall be given to the
need to promote uniformity of the law with respect to its subject matter among
states that enact it. The privilege extended to persons in other states for
discovery under this article shall only apply if the jurisdiction where the
action is pending has extended a similar privilege to persons in the
Commonwealth, by that jurisdiction&#8217;s enactment of the Uniform Interstate
Depositions and Discovery Act, a predecessor uniform act, or another comparable
law or rule of court providing substantially similar mechanisms for use by
out-of-state parties.
