The amendment makes clear that all papers relating to discovery which are required to be served on any party must be served on all parties, unless the court orders otherwise.
The parties may also agree on the number of questions on their interrogatories subject to the court's approval. Interrogatories are limited to the parties in a certain case. Thus, nonparties are not obligated to respond to interrogatories.
(a) Interrogatories are written questions prepared by a party to an action that are sent to any other party in the action to be answered under oath. The interrogatories below are form interrogatories approved for use in civil cases.
If a motion is pending or a hearing or trial has been set, an attorney may not withdraw except upon motion and order of the court. The motion to withdraw shall describe the nature of any pending motion and the date and purpose of any scheduled hearing or trial.
Interrogatories are lists of questions sent to the other party that s/he must respond to in writing. You can use interrogatories to find out facts about a case but they cannot be used for questions that draw a legal conclusion.
(a) Limitation on Interrogatories. (1) Any party may serve upon any other party no more than 25 written interrogatories. The 25 permissible interrogatories may not be expanded by the creative use of subparts.
After a nonjury trial, the court may, on motion for a new trial, open the judgment if one has been entered, take additional testimony, amend findings of fact and conclusions of law or make new ones, and direct entry of a new judgment.
Unless otherwise stipulated or ordered by the court, a party may serve on any other party no more than 25 written interrogatories, including all discrete subparts.
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.
- Without leave of court, a party may not serve a total of more than 50 interrogatories and such limit is a cumulative, not a "per set" limit.
