FAQ
When a party to a civil case needs to get information from the other side, she can serve the other side with written requests called “discovery requests.” These requests might include: Interrogatories, which are written questions about things that are relevant or important to the case. (NRCP 33; JCRCP 33)
Common objections to requests for production or inspection include: The request is overly broad or unduly burdensome. The request is vague, ambiguous, or unintelligible. The request is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of relevant, admissible evidence.
Requests for Production or Demands for Inspection require you to produce documents for copying or in some cases actual items for inspection. Responding to the request has 2 parts: State if you can comply with the request (all of it or some of it) or give the reason why you can't comply.
If you are unable to answer an interrogatory because it is too vague, ambiguous, or somehow objectionable, you can state an objection and the reason for your objection. You must then answer to the extent the interrogatory is not objectionable.
2030.210. (a) The party to whom interrogatories have been propounded shall respond in writing under oath separately to each interrogatory by any of the following: (1) An answer containing the information sought to be discovered. (2) An exercise of the party's option to produce writings.
In California, you have 30 days to respond to an interrogatory. If you do not respond within this time, the opposing side can file a motion to compel with the court. The court may require them to first consult with you about your failure to respond before officially filing a motion to compel.

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.
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.
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.
