How to respond to form interrogatories Download the blank response template and fill in basic information. Prepare the template for your responses. Read and answer the questions. Sign the document.
Interrogatories may, without leave of court, be served upon the plaintiff after filing of the complaint and upon any other party with or after service of the summons and complaint upon that party.
(a) The interrogatories and the response thereto shall not be filed with the court. (b) The propounding party shall retain both the original of the interrogatories, with the original proof of service affixed to them, and the original of the sworn response until six months after final disposition of the action.
When a party requests documents or answers to questions from the opposing party in a lawsuit, you must do so in the form of a Motion for Discovery. A Motion for Discovery may be filed with the Court via E-File, Email, in person, or by US Mail.
Make a copy of your form interrogatories for each attorney or self-represented party in your case. You will keep the original. They are not filed with the court.
You have 30 days to respond to the interrogatories. If you were served by mail, you typically have 35 days from the date of mailing to respond. Just below the top caption identifying the case, the form identifies the Answering (or Responding) party. Make sure that this is you.
If you have received interrogatories, you have thirty days to prepare your written answers (unless the court has ordered something else). You do not file your written answers with the court. You simply mail the original back to the other side.
(2) Interrogatories. Each party may serve no more than 25 written interrogatories, excluding interrogatories asking a party only to identify or authenticate specific documents. Each discrete subpart of an interrogatory is considered a separate interrogatory.
Read each question (interrogatory) very carefully. 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.
