DISCOVERY METHODS; INITIAL DISCLOSURES.\n\n1. DISCOVERY METHODS. Parties may obtain discovery regarding\n\nany matter that is relevant to any party's claim or defense by one\n\nor more of the following methods: Depositions upon oral examination\n\nor written questions; written interrogatories; production of\n\ndocuments or things or permission to enter upon land or other\n\nproperty, for inspection and other purposes; physical and mental\n\nexaminations; requests for admission; authorizations for release of\n\nrecords; and otherwise by court order upon showing of good cause.\n\nExcept as provided in this section or unless the court orders\n\notherwise under this section, the frequency of use of these methods\n\nis not limited.\n\n2. INITIAL DISCLOSURES.\n\na. Except in categories of proceedings specified in\n\nsubparagraph b of this paragraph, or to the extent\n\notherwise stipulated or directed by order, a party,\n\nwithout awaiting a discovery request, shall provide to\n\nother parties a computation of any category of damages\n\nclaimed by the disclosing party, making available for\n\ninspection and copying the documents or other\n\nevidentiary material, not privileged or protected from\n\ndisclosure, on which such computation is based,\n\nincluding materials bearing on the nature and extent\n\nof injuries suffered. Subject to subsection B of this\n\nsection, in any action in which physical or mental\n\ninjury is claimed, the party making the claim shall\n\nprovide to the other parties a release or\n\nauthorization allowing the parties to obtain relevant\n\nmedical records and bills, and, when relevant, a\n\nrelease or authorization for employment and scholastic\n\nrecords.\n\nb. The following categories of proceedings are exempt\n\nfrom initial disclosure under subparagraph a of this\n\nparagraph:\n\n(1) an action for review of an administrative record,\n\n(2) a petition for habeas corpus or other proceeding\n\nto challenge a criminal conviction or sentence,\n\n(3) an action brought without counsel by a person in\n\ncustody of the United States, a state, or a state\n\nsubdivision,\n\n(4) an action to enforce or quash an administrative\n\nsummons or subpoena,\n\n(5) an action by the United States to recover benefit\n\npayments,\n\n(6) an action by the United States to collect on a\n\nstudent loan guaranteed by the United States,\n\n(7) a proceeding ancillary to proceedings in other\n\ncourts, and\n\n(8) an action to enforce an arbitration award.\n\nc. Disclosures required under this paragraph shall be\n\nmade at or within sixty (60) days after service unless\n\na different time is set by stipulation or court order,\n\nor unless a party objects that initial disclosures are\n\nnot appropriate in the circumstances of the action and\n\nstates the objection in a motion filed with the court.\n\nIn ruling on the objection, the court shall determine\n\nwhat disclosures, if any, are to be made and set the\n\ntime for disclosure. A party shall make its initial\n\ndisclosures based on the information then readily\n\navailable to it and is not excused from making its\n\ndisclosures because it has not fully completed its\n\ninvestigation of the case or because it challenges the\n\nsufficiency of another party's disclosures or because\n\nanother party has not made its disclosures.\n\nB. DISCOVERY SCOPE AND LIMITS. Unless otherwise limited by\n\norder of the court in accordance with the Oklahoma Discovery Code,\n\nthe scope of discovery is as follows:\n\n1. IN GENERAL.\n\na. Parties may obtain discovery regarding any matter, not\n\nprivileged, which is relevant to any party's claim or\n\ndefense, reasonably calculated to lead to the\n\ndiscovery of admissible evidence and proportional to\n\nthe needs of the case, considering the importance of\n\nthe issues at stake in the action, the amount in\n\ncontroversy, the parties' relative access to relevant\n\ninformation, the parties' resources, the importance of\n\nthe discovery in resolving the issues, and whether the\n\nburden or expense of the proposed discovery outweighs\nlated to lead to the\n\ndiscovery of admissible evidence and proportional to\n\nthe needs of the case, considering the importance of\n\nthe issues at stake in the action, the amount in\n\ncontroversy, the parties' relative access to relevant\n\ninformation, the parties' resources, the importance of\n\nthe discovery in resolving the issues, and whether the\n\nburden or expense of the proposed discovery outweighs\n\nits likely benefit. Information within this scope of\n\ndiscovery need not be admissible in evidence to be\n\ndiscoverable.\n\nb. A party shall produce upon request pursuant to Section\n\n3234 of this title, any insurance agreement under\n\nwhich any person carrying on an insurance business may\n\nbe liable to satisfy part or all of a judgment which\n\nmay be entered in the action or to indemnify or\n\nreimburse for payments made to satisfy the judgment.\n\nInformation concerning the insurance agreement is not\n\nby reason of disclosure admissible in evidence at\n\ntrial. For purposes of this section, an application\n\nfor insurance shall not be treated as a part of an\n\ninsurance agreement.\n\nc. A party shall produce upon request, pursuant to\n\nSection 3234 of this title, any commercial litigation\n\nfunding agreement as defined in Section 3 of this act.\n\nInformation related to the commercial litigation\n\nfunding agreement is not, by reason of disclosure,\n\nadmissible as evidence at trial. Production of a\n\ncommercial litigation funding agreement shall include\n\na certification, by sworn affidavit, by the producing\n\nparty as to whether any funds encumbered by the terms\n\nof the agreement have been or will be sourced from a\n\nforeign state or agency or instrumentality of a\n\nforeign state as defined in 28 U.S.C., Section 1603 or\n\n22 U.S.C., Section 611, as amended. Certification\n\nthat discloses that a foreign state or agency or\n\ninstrumentality of a foreign state is such a source\n\nshall include the identity of the foreign state,\n\nagency, or instrumentality that is the source of the\n\nfunds. Such certification shall be supplemented or\n\ncorrected by the producing party within thirty (30)\n\ndays in the event the certification becomes incomplete\n\nor inaccurate in a material aspect. A consumer\n\nlitigation funding agreement as defined in Section 3-\n\n801 of Title 14A of the Oklahoma Statutes shall be\n\nexempt from the provisions of this subparagraph.\n\n2. LIMITATIONS ON FREQUENCY AND EXTENT.\n\na. By order, the court may alter the limits on the length\n\nof depositions under Section 3230 of this title, on\n\nthe number of interrogatories under Section 3233 of\n\nthis title, on the number of requests to produce under\n\nSection 3234 of this title, or on the number of\n\nrequests for admission under Section 3236 of this\n\ntitle.\n\nb. A party is not required to provide discovery of\n\nelectronically stored information from sources that\n\nthe party identifies as not reasonably accessible\n\nbecause of undue burden or cost. On motion to compel\n\ndiscovery or for a protective order, the party from\n\nwhom discovery is sought must show that the\n\ninformation is not reasonably accessible because of\n\nundue burden or cost. If that showing is made, the\n\ncourt may order discovery from such sources if the\n\nrequesting party shows good cause, considering the\n\nlimitations of subparagraph c of this paragraph. The\n\ncourt may specify conditions for the discovery.\n\nc. On motion or on its own, the court shall limit the\n\nfrequency or extent of discovery otherwise allowed if\n\nit determines that:\n\n(1) the discovery sought is unreasonably cumulative\n\nor duplicative, or can be obtained from some\n\nother source that is more convenient, less\n\nburdensome, or less expensive,\n\n(2) the party seeking discovery has had ample\n\nopportunity to obtain the information by\n\ndiscovery in the action, or\nown, the court shall limit the\n\nfrequency or extent of discovery otherwise allowed if\n\nit determines that:\n\n(1) the discovery sought is unreasonably cumulative\n\nor duplicative, or can be obtained from some\n\nother source that is more convenient, less\n\nburdensome, or less expensive,\n\n(2) the party seeking discovery has had ample\n\nopportunity to obtain the information by\n\ndiscovery in the action, or\n\n(3) the proposed discovery is outside the scope\n\npermitted by subparagraph a of paragraph 1 of\n\nthis subsection.\n\nd. If an officer, director or managing agent of a\n\ncorporation or a government official is served with\n\nnotice of a deposition or subpoena regarding a matter\n\nabout which he or she has no knowledge, he or she may\n\nsubmit at a reasonable time prior to the date of the\n\ndeposition an affidavit to the noticing party so\n\nstating and identifying a person within the\n\ncorporation or government entity who has knowledge of\n\nthe subject matter involved in the pending action.\n\nNotwithstanding such affidavit, the noticing party may\n\nproceed with the deposition, subject to the noticed\n\nwitness's right to seek a protective order.\n\n3. TRIAL PREPARATION: MATERIALS.\n\na. Unless as provided by paragraph 4 of this subsection,\n\na party may not discover documents and tangible things\n\nthat are prepared in anticipation of litigation or for\n\ntrial by or for another party or its representative,\n\nincluding the other party's attorney, consultant,\n\nsurety, indemnitor, insurer or agent. Subject to\n\nparagraph 4 of this subsection, such materials may be\n\ndiscovered if:\n\n(1) they are otherwise discoverable under paragraph 1\n\nof this subsection, and\n\n(2) the party shows that it has substantial need for\n\nthe materials to prepare its case and cannot,\n\nwithout undue hardship, obtain their substantial\n\nequivalent by other means.\n\nb. If the court orders discovery of such materials, the\n\ncourt shall protect against disclosure of the mental\n\nimpressions, conclusions, opinions or legal theories\n\nof a party's attorney or other representative\n\nconcerning the litigation.\n\nc. A party or other person may, upon request and without\n\nthe required showing, obtain the person's own previous\n\nstatement about the action or its subject matter. If\n\nthe request is refused, the person may move for a\n\ncourt order, and the provisions of paragraph 4 of\n\nsubsection A of Section 3237 of this title apply to\n\nthe award of expenses. A previous statement is\n\neither:\n\n(1) a written statement that the person has signed or\n\notherwise adopted or approved, or\n\n(2) a contemporaneous stenographic, mechanical,\n\nelectrical, or other recording, or a\n\ntranscription thereof, which recites\n\nsubstantially verbatim the person's oral\n\nstatement.\n\n4. TRIAL PREPARATION: EXPERTS.\n\na. Discovery of facts known and opinions held by experts,\n\notherwise discoverable under the provisions of\n\nparagraph 1 of this subsection and acquired or\n\ndeveloped in anticipation of litigation or for trial,\n\nmay be obtained only as follows:\n\n(1) a party may, through interrogatories, require any\n\nother party to identify each person whom that\n\nother party expects to call as an expert witness\n\nat trial and give the address at which that\n\nexpert witness may be located,\n\n(2) after disclosure of the names and addresses of\n\nthe expert witnesses, the other party expects to\n\ncall as witnesses, the party, who has requested\n\ndisclosure, may depose any such expert witnesses\n\nsubject to scope of this section. Prior to\n\ntaking the deposition the party must give notice\n\nas required in subsections A and C of Section\n\n3230 of this title, and\nt\n\nexpert witness may be located,\n\n(2) after disclosure of the names and addresses of\n\nthe expert witnesses, the other party expects to\n\ncall as witnesses, the party, who has requested\n\ndisclosure, may depose any such expert witnesses\n\nsubject to scope of this section. Prior to\n\ntaking the deposition the party must give notice\n\nas required in subsections A and C of Section\n\n3230 of this title, and\n\n(3) in addition to taking the depositions of expert\n\nwitnesses the party may, through interrogatories,\n\nrequire the party who expects to call the expert\n\nwitnesses to state the subject matter on which\n\neach expert witness is expected to testify; the\n\nsubstance of the facts and opinions to which the\n\nexpert is expected to testify and a summary of\n\nthe grounds for each opinion; the qualifications\n\nof each expert witness, including a list of all\n\npublications authored by the expert witness\n\nwithin the preceding ten (10) years; the\n\ncompensation to be paid to the expert witness for\n\nthe testimony and preparation for the testimony;\n\nand a listing of any other cases in which the\n\nexpert witness has testified as an expert at\n\ntrial or by deposition within the preceding four\n\n(4) years. An interrogatory seeking the\n\ninformation specified above shall be treated as a\n\nsingle interrogatory for purposes of the\n\nlimitation on the number of interrogatories in\n\nSection 3233 of this title.\n\nb. The protection provided by paragraph 3 of this\n\nsubsection extends to communications between the\n\nparty's attorney and any expert witness retained or\n\nspecially employed to provide expert testimony in the\n\ncase or whose duties as the party's employee regularly\n\ninvolve giving expert testimony, except to the extent\n\nthat the communications:\n\n(1) relate to compensation for the expert's study or\n\ntestimony,\n\n(2) identify facts or data that the party's attorney\n\nprovided and that the expert considered in\n\nforming the opinions to be expressed, or\n\n(3) identify assumptions that the party's attorney\n\nprovided and that the expert relied upon in\n\nforming the opinions to be expressed.\n\nc. A party may not, by interrogatories or deposition,\n\ndiscover facts known or opinions held by an expert who\n\nhas been retained or specially employed by another\n\nparty in anticipation of litigation or to prepare for\n\ntrial and who is not expected to be called as a\n\nwitness at trial, except as provided in Section 3235\n\nof this title or upon a showing of exceptional\n\ncircumstances under which it is impracticable for the\n\nparty to obtain facts or opinions on the same subject\n\nby other means.\n\nd. Unless manifest injustice would result:\n\n(1) the court shall require that the party seeking\n\ndiscovery pay the expert a reasonable fee for\n\ntime spent in responding to discovery under\n\ndivision (2) of subparagraph a of this paragraph\n\nand subparagraph c of this paragraph, and\nstances under which it is impracticable for the\n\nparty to obtain facts or opinions on the same subject\n\nby other means.\n\nd. Unless manifest injustice would result:\n\n(1) the court shall require that the party seeking\n\ndiscovery pay the expert a reasonable fee for\n\ntime spent in responding to discovery under\n\ndivision (2) of subparagraph a of this paragraph\n\nand subparagraph c of this paragraph, and\n\n(2) the court shall require that the party seeking\n\ndiscovery with respect to discovery obtained\n\nunder subparagraph c of this paragraph, pay the\n\nother party a fair portion of the fees and\n\nexpenses reasonably incurred by the latter party\n\nin obtaining facts and opinions from the expert.\n\n5. CLAIMS OF PRIVILEGE OR PROTECTION OF TRIAL PREPARATION\n\nMATERIALS.\n\na. When a party withholds information otherwise\n\ndiscoverable under the Oklahoma Discovery Code by\n\nclaiming that it is privileged or subject to\n\nprotection as trial preparation material, the party\n\nshall make the claim expressly and shall describe the\n\nnature of the documents, communications, or things not\n\nproduced or disclosed in a manner that, without\n\nrevealing information itself privileged or protected,\n\nwill enable other parties to assess the applicability\n\nof the privilege or protection.\n\nb. If information produced in discovery is subject to a\n\nclaim of privilege or of protection as trial\n\npreparation material, the party making the claim may\n\nnotify any party that received the information of the\n\nclaim and the basis for it. After being notified, a\n\nparty shall promptly return, sequester, or destroy the\n\nspecified information and any copies the party has;\n\nshall not use or disclose the information until the\n\nclaim is resolved; shall take reasonable steps to\n\nretrieve the information if the party has disclosed it\n\nbefore being notified; and may promptly present the\n\ninformation to the court under seal for a\n\ndetermination of the claim. The producing party shall\n\npreserve the information until the claim is resolved.\n\nThis mechanism is procedural only and does not alter\n\nthe standards governing whether the information is\n\nprivileged or subject to protection as trial\n\npreparation material or whether such privilege or\n\nprotection has been waived.\n\nC. PROTECTIVE ORDERS.\n\n1. Upon motion by a party or by the person from whom discovery\n\nis sought, accompanied by a certification that the movant has in\n\ngood faith conferred or attempted to confer, either in person or by\n\ntelephone, with other affected parties in an effort to resolve the\n\ndispute without court action, and for good cause shown, the court in\n\nwhich the action is pending or on matters relating to a deposition,\n\nthe district court in the county where the deposition is to be taken\n\nmay enter any order which justice requires to protect a party or\n\nperson from annoyance, harassment, embarrassment, oppression or\n\nundue delay, burden or expense, including one or more of the\n\nfollowing:\n\na. that the discovery not be had,\n\nb. that the discovery may be had only on specified terms\n\nand conditions, including a designation of the time,\n\nplace or the allocation of expenses,\n\nc. that the discovery may be had only by a method of\n\ndiscovery other than that selected by the party\n\nseeking discovery,\n\nd. that certain matters not be inquired into, or that the\n\nscope of the disclosure or discovery be limited to\n\ncertain matters,\n\ne. that discovery be conducted with no one present except\n\npersons designated by the court,\n\nf. that a deposition after being sealed be opened only by\n\norder of the court,\n\ng. that a trade secret or other confidential research,\n\ndevelopment or commercial information not be disclosed\n\nor be disclosed only in a designated way, and\n\nh. that the parties simultaneously file specified\n\ndocuments or information enclosed in sealed envelopes\n\nto be opened as directed by the court.\nd by the court,\n\nf. that a deposition after being sealed be opened only by\n\norder of the court,\n\ng. that a trade secret or other confidential research,\n\ndevelopment or commercial information not be disclosed\n\nor be disclosed only in a designated way, and\n\nh. that the parties simultaneously file specified\n\ndocuments or information enclosed in sealed envelopes\n\nto be opened as directed by the court.\n\n2. If the motion for a protective order is denied in whole or\n\nin part, the court may, on such terms and conditions as are just,\n\norder that any party or person provide or permit discovery. The\n\nprovisions of paragraph 4 of subsection A of Section 3237 of this\n\ntitle apply to the award of expenses incurred in relation to the\n\nmotion. Any protective order of the court which has the effect of\n\nremoving any material obtained by discovery from the public record\n\nshall contain the following:\n\na. a statement that the court has determined it is\n\nnecessary in the interests of justice to remove the\n\nmaterial from the public record,\n\nb. specific identification of the material which is to be\n\nremoved or withdrawn from the public record, or which\n\nis to be filed but not placed in the public record,\n\nand\n\nc. a requirement that any party obtaining a protective\n\norder place the protected material in a sealed manila\n\nenvelope clearly marked with the caption and case\n\nnumber and is clearly marked with the word\n\n\"CONFIDENTIAL\", and stating the date the order was\n\nentered and the name of the judge entering the order.\n\nThis requirement may also be satisfied by requiring\n\nthe party to file the documents pursuant to the\n\nprocedure for electronically filing sealed or\n\nconfidential documents approved for electronic filing\n\nin the courts of this state.\n\n3. No protective order entered after the filing and\n\nmicrofilming of documents of any kind shall be construed to require\n\nthe microfilm record of such filing to be amended in any fashion.\n\n4. The party or counsel which has received the protective order\n\nshall be responsible for promptly presenting the order to\n\nappropriate court clerk personnel for appropriate action.\n\n5. All documents produced or testimony given under a protective\n\norder shall be retained in the office of counsel until required by\n\nthe court to be filed in the case.\n\n6. Counsel for the respective parties shall be responsible for\n\ninforming witnesses, as necessary, of the contents of the protective\n\norder.\n\n7. When a case is filed in which a party intends to seek a\n\nprotective order removing material from the public record, the\n\nplaintiff(s) and defendant(s) shall be initially designated on the\n\npetition under pseudonym such as \"John or Jane Doe\", or \"Roe\", and\n\nthe petition shall clearly indicate that the party designations are\n\nfictitious. The party seeking confidentiality or other order\n\nremoving the case, in whole or in part, from the public record,\n\nshall immediately present application to the court, seeking\n\ninstructions for the conduct of the case, including confidentiality\n\nof the records.\n\nD. SEQUENCE AND TIMING OF DISCOVERY. Unless the parties\n\nstipulate or the court orders otherwise for the convenience of\n\nparties and witnesses and in the interests of justice, methods of\n\ndiscovery may be used in any sequence. The fact that a party is\n\nconducting discovery, whether by deposition or otherwise, shall not\n\noperate to delay discovery by any other party.\n\nE. SUPPLEMENTATION OF RESPONSES. A party who has responded to\n\na request for discovery with a response that was complete when it\n\nwas made is under no duty to supplement the response to include\n\ninformation thereafter acquired, except as follows:\n\n1. A party is under a duty seasonably to supplement the\n\nresponse with respect to any question directly addressed to:\n\na. the identity and location of persons having knowledge\n\nof discoverable matters, and\n\nb. the identity of each person expected to be called as\ns complete when it\n\nwas made is under no duty to supplement the response to include\n\ninformation thereafter acquired, except as follows:\n\n1. A party is under a duty seasonably to supplement the\n\nresponse with respect to any question directly addressed to:\n\na. the identity and location of persons having knowledge\n\nof discoverable matters, and\n\nb. the identity of each person expected to be called as\n\nan expert witness at trial, the subject matter on\n\nwhich the person is expected to testify, and the\n\nsubstance of the testimony of the person;\n\n2. A party is under a duty seasonably to amend a prior response\n\nto an interrogatory, request for production, or request for\n\nadmission if the party obtains information upon the basis of which:\n\na. (1) the party knows that the response was incorrect\n\nin some material respect when made, or\n\n(2) the party knows that the response, which was\n\ncorrect when made, is no longer true in some\n\nmaterial respect, and\n\nb. the additional or corrective information has not\n\notherwise been made known to the other parties during\n\nthe discovery process or in writing; and\n\n3. A duty to supplement responses may be imposed by order of\n\nthe court, agreement of the parties, or at any time prior to trial\n\nthrough new requests for supplementation of prior responses.\n\nF. DISCOVERY CONFERENCE. At any time after commencement of an\n\naction, the court may direct the attorneys for the parties to appear\n\nfor a conference on the subject of discovery. The court shall do so\n\nupon motion by the attorney for any party if the motion includes:\n\n1. A statement of the issues as they then appear;\n\n2. A proposed plan and schedule of discovery;\n\n3. Any limitations proposed to be placed on discovery;\n\n4. Any other proposed orders with respect to discovery; and\n\n5. A statement showing that the attorney making the motion has\n\nmade a reasonable effort to reach agreement with opposing attorneys\n\non the matters set forth in the motion.\n\nEach party and his attorney are under a duty to participate in\n\ngood faith in the framing of a discovery plan if a plan is proposed\n\nby the attorney for any party. Notice of the motion shall be served\n\non all parties. Objections or additions to matters set forth in the\n\nmotion shall be served not later than ten (10) days after service of\n\nthe motion.\n\nFollowing the discovery conference, the court shall enter an\n\norder tentatively identifying the issues for discovery purposes,\n\nestablishing a plan and schedule for discovery, setting limitations\n\non discovery, if any; and determining such other matters, including\n\nthe allocation of expenses, as are necessary for the proper\n\nmanagement of discovery in the action. In preparing the plan for\n\ndiscovery the court shall protect the parties from excessive or\n\nabusive use of discovery. An order shall be altered or amended\n\nwhenever justice so requires.\n\nSubject to the right of a party who properly moves for a\n\ndiscovery conference to prompt convening of the conference, the\n\ncourt may combine the discovery conference with a pretrial\n\nconference.\n\nG. SIGNING OF DISCOVERY REQUESTS, RESPONSES AND OBJECTIONS.\n\nEvery request for discovery, response or objection thereto made by a\n\nparty represented by an attorney shall be signed by at least one of\n\nthe party's attorneys of record in the party's individual name whose\n\naddress shall be stated. A party who is not represented by an\n\nattorney shall sign the request, response or objection and state the\n\nparty's address. The signature of the attorney or party constitutes\n\na certification that the party has read the request, response or\n\nobjection, and that it is:\n\n1. To the best of the party's knowledge, information and belief\n\nformed after a reasonable inquiry consistent with the Oklahoma\n\nDiscovery Code and warranted by existing law or a good-faith\n\nargument for the extension, modification or reversal of existing\n\nlaw;\n\ntion that the party has read the request, response or\n\nobjection, and that it is:\n\n1.

Interposed in good faith and not primarily to cause delay or\n\nfor any other improper purpose; and\n\n3. Not unreasonable or unduly burdensome or expensive, given\n\nthe nature and complexity of the case, the discovery already had in\n\nthe case, the amount in controversy, and other values at stake in\n\nthe litigation. If a request, response or objection is not signed,\n\nit shall be deemed ineffective.\n\nIf a certification is made in violation of the provisions of\n\nthis subsection, the court, upon motion or upon its own initiative,\n\nshall impose upon the person who made the certification, the party\n\non whose behalf the request, response or objection is made, or both,\n\nan appropriate sanction, which may include an order to pay to the\n\namount of the reasonable expenses occasioned thereby, including a\n\nreasonable attorney fee.","path":["OK Code","Title 12"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os12.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"ce3f6a91f5239d80f330b324d5f6517d7e573569cf3ab5ab8c47ad5bbb0795ed","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-12-12-3225.1","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-12-12-3226.1"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
