Discovery is the formal process by which the parties to a case in court exchange information about the case. This includes information about the witnesses and evidence to be presented at trial. Its purpose is to make the parties aware of the evidence which may be presented at trial.
In a limited civil case (cases less than $25,000, or $35,000 if filed after Jan. 1, 2024) you may ask each party only 35 questions total, whether they are form interrogatories, special interrogatories, requests for admission, or requests for production.
Maryland Rule of Procedure 2-421 controls how and when interrogatories are sent and responded to in circuit court cases. A request for admissions is a list of statements sent to another party. The receiving party must admit or deny each statement.
If a subpoena is to be served on the person to be examined, it shall be served at least ten days before the date of the deposition. If the deposition is to be recorded by electronic audio or audio-video means, the notice shall specify the method of recording.
