FAQ
No party may serve more than fifty (50) interrogatories, including subparts, on any other party during the course of discovery without permission of the court.
It is a legal process in which both parties exchange information relevant to the case. This information can be used to prepare for trials or negotiations. The discovery process can take different forms such as depositions, requests for production of documents, interrogatories, and requests for admissions.
Interrogatories are often preferable to depositions for identi- fying such things as witnesses, documents, the dates and sub- stance of transactions and conversations,3 since a deponent may easily forget or overlook relevant information when an- swering such questions.
Answers to interrogatories can be much more complete than answers to deposition questions. Interrogatories are generally less expensive than depositions because they don't require court reporter fees, transcript costs, or attorney time in traveling to and from the deposition.
Each interrogatory shall be answered separately and fully in writing under oath, unless it is objected to, in which event the reasons for objection shall be stated in lieu of an answer. The answers are to be signed by the person making them, and the objections signed by the attorney making them.
Here are some of the things lawyers often ask for in discovery: anything a witness or party saw, heard, or did in connection with the dispute. anything anyone said at a particular time and place (for example, in a business meeting related to the dispute or after a car accident that turned into a lawsuit)
Interrogatories are a discovery tool that the parties can use to have specific questions about a case answered before trial. Interrogatories are lists of questions sent to the other party that s/he must respond to in writing.
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.
