NUMBER AND SCOPE OF INTERROGATORIES. Rule 33 (a), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure , restricts to 25 (including all discrete subparts) the number of interrogatories a party may serve on any other party.
The answering party shall serve a copy of the answers, and objections if any, within thirty days after the service of the interrogatories. The party submitting the interrogatories may move the court to dismiss an objection and direct that the interrogatory be answered.
(a) A defendant may propound interrogatories to a party to the action without leave of court at any time. (b) A plaintiff may propound interrogatories to a party without leave of court at any time that is 10 days after the service of the summons on, or appearance by, that party, whichever occurs first.
Code r. 4003.7. A party may obtain information concerning the wealth of a defendant in a claim for punitive damages only upon order of court setting forth appropriate restrictions as to the time of the discovery, the scope of the discovery, and the dissemination of the material discovered.
402. All relevant evidence is admissible, except as otherwise provided by law. Evidence that is not relevant is not admissible.
Under the Pennsylvania statute of limitations, a plaintiff must bring a medical negligence claim within two years after an injury occurs. There is an exception, deemed the “discovery rule,” which allows extra time to file the claim if the plaintiff was unaware of the injury until after two years had passed.
(1) Be in writing. (2) Identify the name and position of the individual who provided the answer. (3) Be submitted as an answer and may not be submitted as an exhibit or in another form. (4) Answer each interrogatory fully and completely unless an objection is made.
4005. Except upon leave of Court or agreement of the parties, interrogatories, including subpart thereto, shall not exceed twenty-five (25) in number.
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.
These Interrogatories must be answered completely and specifically by Plaintiff(s) in writing and must be verified. The fact that investigation is continuing or that discovery is not complete shall not be used as an excuse for failure to answer each interrogatory as completely as possible.
