FAQ

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.

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

What types of questions can I ask in interrogatories? Questions about the other party's position or arguments in the case. Questions about the facts of the case. Questions about the other party's knowledge or understanding of relevant events or circumstances. Questions about the other party's witnesses or experts.

Answer only the question that is asked, and avoid the temptation to over-explain your answer. If the question contains several parts, you may break your answer into parts as well. It is also possible that you might object to the question.

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.
