FAQ
Whether to admit interrogatory answers is within the discretion of the trial court, just as with any other evidence, and a trial court's refusal to admit such evidence will only be reversed upon a showing of manifest abuse of that discretion.
Court rules usually limit the number of questions included in an interrogatory. For example, under Rule 33 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure , each party may only ask the other party 25 interrogatory questions, unless the court permits them to ask more.

C. How much time do I have to respond to the subpoena? The answer depends upon whether the request is in Illinois state court or federal court. Illinois state court rules require service at least seven (7) days before the date on which the appearance is required for a deposition, hearing or trial.
Also, amended Rule 213(d) retains the requirement that “within 28 days after service of the interrogatories upon the party to whom they are directed, the party shall serve a sworn answer or an objection to each interrogatory, with proof of service upon all other parties entitled to notice.
