Discovery is how you gather the evidence you will need to prove your case as plaintiff, or defeat the plaintiff's case as a defendant. You use discovery to find out things like: What the other side plans to say about an issue in your case. What facts or witnesses support their side.
CROSS-EXAMINING WITNESSES ON THEIR AFFIDAVITS The purpose of cross-examination is to obtain answers from the witness that will test the accuracy or truthfulness of the written evidence or bring out facts that may help your case. All questions asked of witnesses must be relevant to the matters at issue in the case.
Examination for discovery is the out-of-court examination (questioning) under oath of the parties to an action (lawsuit). Every party to the dispute is entitled to examine every other adverse (opposing) party.
Rule 29.1(2) sets out the timing for agreement to a discovery plan. Parties must agree to a discovery plan either 60 days after the close of pleadings (a longer period is permitted if agreed to by the parties) or before attempting to obtain evidence.
In a process called “discovery”, the parties exchange information about their evidence before going to trial. There are two parts to the discovery process: discovery of documents, where parties list all relevant documents and provide a copy of each.
The federal rules do not contain any time limit in which a motion to compel discovery must be filed. But you should check your court's local rules and even the judge's standing order. For instance, in the Northern District of California you must move to compel within seven days of the close of discovery.
Introduction. Rule 48 is about listing (scheduling) an action for trial and gives the party some control over when the trial will occur. It is the mechanism for parties to "have their day in court".
