Fact-Finding: Interrogatories help attorneys obtain critical information from the opposing party. For example, in a car accident case, the plaintiff's attorney might ask the defendant to describe their version of the incident, list any witnesses, or detail the injuries they claim to have suffered.
However, you can object to interrogatories that call for legal conclusions. You can also object to questions if they are not at all related to the court case. To object, you need to write out the reasons for the objection instead of answering the question.
If the opposing side does not respond to your form interrogatories, special interrogatories, or request for production, you may file a motion seeking an order compelling the opposing party to respond.
Interrogatories are written questions sent by one party in a lawsuit to another party in that same suit, which the responding party must answer under penalty of perjury. Interrogatories allow the parties to ask who, what, when, where and why questions, making them a good method for obtaining new information.
An interrogatory that asks for a professional opinion from a lay witness is improper, and you should object.
Interrogatories are lists of questions sent to the other party that s/he must respond to in writing. You can use interrogatories to find out facts about a case but they cannot be used for questions that draw a legal conclusion.
Common objections include: The request is impermissibly compound. The request is vague, ambiguous or unintelligible. The request is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of relevant, admissible evidence. Introduction to Discovery – Part 5: Responding to Form Interrogatories.
(g) If you are asserting a privilege or making an objection to an interrogatory, you must specifically assert the privilege or state the objection in your written response. (h) Your answers to these interrogatories must be verified, dated, and signed.
Related Discovery Guides In addition, your responses must be “verified,” meaning that you must sign under penalty of perjury that your responses are true and correct (CCP § 2030.250).
Remember that the propounding party always keeps the original discovery documents and serves a copy on the responding parties. Because discovery documents must be verified, remember to include a date in your discovery calendaring to make sure you have received the signed verification back from the client.
