FAQ
Use Form Interrogatories when you want to gather information from the other side by having them answer questions from a list on a form, and swear under oath that the answers are true.
Interrogatories are limited to the parties in a certain case. Thus, nonparties are not obligated to respond to interrogatories. Parties should use other discovery devices at their disposal to get information from nonparties, like depositions. At the state level, each state court has its own interrogatory rules.
Any party can serve interrogatories upon another. A party must provide a reasonable space after each interrogatory for a response or objection. The interrogatory being answered (or objected to) must be placed immediately before the answer or objection.
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.
First Set of Interrogatories means the Applicant's first set of interrogatories served on Opposer contemporaneously with these Requests.
You use discovery to get information or evidence from the other side in a lawsuit that will help you make your case. In order to get the information you need, you must make a request using a specific procedure and written format, within a specific timeframe.
You can use interrogatories to find out facts about a case but they cannot be used for questions that draw a legal conclusion.
Your answers to the interrogatories should usually be short, clear, and direct and should answer only the question that is being asked. This is not the time to set out your entire case or defense to the other side. Take the time to make sure your answers are correct and truthful.
They are provided for your information. 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.
