Whether for commercial reasons or personal matters, everyone eventually encounters legal issues in their lifetime.
Completing legal documents requires meticulous attention, beginning with choosing the correct form template.
With an extensive US Legal Forms catalog available, you don’t need to waste time searching for the appropriate template online. Make use of the library’s simple navigation to find the correct form for any circumstance.
If the court grants leave or the party consents, you can deliver interrogatories to any party in the action and they must be replied to within 21 days of delivery. Answers to interrogatories are delivered in the form of an affidavit, so the party answering the questions swears to the truth of the answers.
If you are unable to answer a specific question because you don't know or don't have access to the appropriate information, you must indicate the reasons. You may refer to a previous response when responding to an interrogatory providing the previous response sufficiently answers the later interrogatory.
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.
There is no form for your answer, but you typically have to respond in a specified format, using paper with numbers down the left-hand side, with your name and address at the top left, the name of the court and of the case, and the case number.
For interrogatories, action words such as ?list,? ?describe,? ?identify,? or ?state? are very useful. You may ask the other side to identify a document but you cannot use this form of discovery to get them to give it to you. Requesting documents requires a different kind of discovery process.
