Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook was ordered by a judge to give a deposition in the U.S. Justice Department’s e-books pricing lawsuit against the world’s biggest technology company.

The possibility of Cook’s deposition was disclosed March 8 in a brief order by U.S. District Judge Denise Cote in Manhattan, who is overseeing the case. Cote granted a request by the U.S. and ordered the deposition yesterday, limiting it to four hours, according to the court.
