FAQ
(a) No party shall request, as a matter of right, that any other party admit more than 35 matters that do not relate to the genuineness of documents. If the initial set of admission requests does not exhaust this limit, the balance may be requested in subsequent sets.
Make sure you allow enough time for document production. The date of production should be at least 20 days from the date the summons was issued or 15 days from when the witness is served, whichever is later. If you are seeking employee or consumer records, this date should be at least 30 days away.
There is no limit to demands for production of documents (CCP2031. 010(a)). However, you must be reasonable. You cannot request so many as to be unduly burdensome and expensive, annoying, embarrassing, or oppressive.
Requests for production often reveal crucial information that can shape the outcome of a case. As such, parties involved in a legal matter are obligated to respond to Requests for Production, either by producing the requested information or by providing a written explanation as to why the documents cannot be delivered.
You may object if the request would be "unwarranted oppression," also known as an unreasonable burden or expense to comply with. The judge will weigh the burden and expense against the relevance of the evidence, and the need for the evidence in the case.
If your case is a limited civil case ($35,000 or less) you can request up to a total of 35 combined request for admissions, form interrogatories , special interrogatories, and requests for production.
Good evening. There are two things to remember when answering interrogatories...i) answer only the exact question asked with as few words as possible without expanding on anything; and ii) answer as irrelevant anything you don't really want to address.
Usually, lawyers use interrogatories to obtain detailed information about persons, corporations, facts, witnesses, and identity and locations of records and documents. Court rules usually limit the number of questions included in an interrogatory.
