Connecticut allows for discovery, a crucial step in civil litigation where both parties exchange information and evidence relevant to the case. It is essential to respond to these discovery requests in a timely and accurate manner, as failure to do so may have detrimental consequences of your case. There are several types of discovery requests that you may encounter in Connecticut, including Interrogatories, Requests for Production of Documents, Requests for Admission, and Deposition notices. Each request requires a different manner of response, and it is important to carefully review and understand the specific requirements outlined in each reference. 1. Interrogatories: Interrogatories consist of a series of written questions propounded by the opposing party, seeking detailed information relevant to the case. When responding to interrogatories: — Review the questions thoroughly and ensure you understand their intent. — Provide complete and accurate answers. — Organize your responses clearly, numbering them to correspond with the interrogatory being answered. 2. Requests for Production of Documents: This type of request asks for the production or inspection of specific documents or other tangible items relevant to the case. When responding: — Carefully review and identify the documents or items requested. — Collect and organize the responsive documents. — Clearly label each document for easy reference. — If you object to any requests, provide valid grounds for your objection. 3. Requests for Admission: Requests for Admission are written statements served by the opposing party, asking for admissions or denials of specific facts regarding the case. When responding: — Review each statement carefully and provide a direct and unequivocal admission or denial. — If you neither admit nor deny a statement, explain the reason for your response. 4. Deposition Notices: Deposition notices inform you of the opposing party's intention to take your deposition, a sworn, out-of-court testimony. When receiving a deposition notice: — Contact me immediately, as depositions require legal representation. — We will work together to prepare thoroughly, ensuring you are comfortable and aware of the deposition process. Remember, it is crucial to meet the deadlines set for responding to these discovery requests. Failure to respond within the designated timeframe may result in negative consequences for your case.
