The rule acknowledges that victims cannot sue for damages they are unaware of, and it adjusts the legal timeline ingly. This rule, however, is not without its limits. New York law specifies certain conditions under which the discovery rule applies, and understanding these specifics is crucial.
When Is Discovery Available? In New York Supreme Court actions (other than actions in the Commercial Division) discovery is generally available after the defendant interposes its answer. If the defendant serves a pre-answer motion to dismiss, however, then discovery is generally stayed until that motion is decided.
To serve a discovery request on a nonparty (where permissible), you must follow the procedures in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45. You must sign your discovery requests and responses and include your name, address, phone number, and email address (if available).
One of the tools that a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney will use to defend your rights is the pre-trial discovery process when the defense can file a “Demand for Discovery and Inspection” requesting that the prosecution share its evidence with the defense.
How to serve a Response for written discovery Choose a server. You can't serve papers yourself. Figure out deadline to serve. Have your server mail the papers. Have your server complete the Proof of Service form. Copy the Proof of Service form.
Write out each fact you wish the other party to admit is true. When writing these facts, be as clear and concise as possible. Each request must be for a single fact; do not include multiple facts, compound questions, or subparts.
(b) Document Demand: As the name indicates, this is a written demand in which one party demands that the other produce certain documents for inspection and copying. (This device is also referred to as a notice of discovery and inspection). The demand must define the items sought with reasonable particularity.
You must respond to the request and swear under oath that your response is true. Then you'll deliver your response to the other side's attorney (or to the other side, if they don't have an attorney).
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.
