FAQ

You can use interrogatories to find out facts about a case but they cannot be used for questions that draw a legal conclusion.

They are provided for your information. There is no form for your answer, but you typically have to respond in a specified format, using paper with numbers down the left-hand side, with your name and address at the top left, the name of the court and of the case, and the case number.

Generally, interrogatories are objectionable if they seek information that is not within the scope of discovery as defined in Maryland Rule 402 or Federal Rule 26(b). These are typically requests that are not relevant, unduly burdensome, broad, vague, privileged. or protected by the work product doctrine.

How to Write Draft Interrogatories Brainstorm questions to ask the non-party related to the issues in the case. Identify relevant documents, witnesses, or other evidence that will be needed to answer the interrogatories. Draft the interrogatories in written form. Ensure the interrogatories are clear, concise and specific.

Your answers to the interrogatories should usually be short, clear, and direct and should answer only the question that is being asked. This is not the time to set out your entire case or defense to the other side. Take the time to make sure your answers are correct and truthful.
