You can use interrogatories to find out facts about a case but they cannot be used for questions that draw a legal conclusion.
Interrogatories are a list of questions written on a court form. The receiving party answers the interrogatories by copying the questions onto a form called ?Responses to Interrogatories? and then responding to each question, signing the document to affirm the information in the responses is true and accurate.
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.
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.
Unfortunately, however, you don't have the option to ignore them. If you don't respond to them within a certain amount of time, you can be ordered to do so. But if you still fail to comply with a judge's orders you can be slapped with a fine or could even lose your case if a judge strikes your pleadings.
