Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Subject: Urgent Matter — Follow-Up on Your Client's Overdue Interrogatories in Florida Discovery Dear [Attorney's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am reaching out to follow up on your client's overdue interrogatories in the ongoing discovery process in the state of Florida. The purpose of this correspondence is to remind you of your ethical obligation to respond to outstanding discovery requests promptly and provide you with a final opportunity to fulfill this obligation. The Florida Discovery process serves as a crucial aspect of civil litigation, ensuring a fair exchange of information between both parties involved. Interrogatories specifically enable parties to elicit relevant facts, determine the opposing party's legal theories, gather evidence, and facilitate fair and well-informed decision-making prior to trial. However, we have yet to receive any response from you or your client regarding the interrogatories presented on [insert date] as part of our legitimate discovery efforts. As you are aware, Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.340 mandates that responses to interrogatories be provided within 30 days of service. Given the importance of timely and accurate discovery, we kindly request your immediate attention to this matter. Failure to respond to the interrogatories within a reasonable timeframe may lead to potential consequences, including but not limited to a motion to compel, sanctions, or a negative inference at trial. We understand that unforeseen circumstances may sometimes contribute to delays in responding, but it is imperative to resolve this matter promptly. Should there exist any valid reasons for the delay, we kindly request that you inform us immediately to discuss potential alternatives or extensions. In the interest of fostering a cooperative approach and facilitating a just and swift resolution to this matter, we propose the following options: 1. Immediately provide responses to the overdue interrogatories in compliance with the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure. 2. Notify us of any extenuating circumstances that may warrant an extension, allowing us to make an informed decision on whether to grant additional time. 3. If your client believes objections are warranted, clearly outline the specific grounds for such objections and provide any necessary supporting documents. Nonetheless, failure to respond or provide a satisfactory explanation within [reasonable timeframe, e.g., ten calendar days] of receiving this letter will compel us to consider all necessary legal remedies available to pursue strict compliance with the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure. We hope that it will not be necessary to escalate this matter and that we can continue the discovery process in a cooperative and professional manner. However, we must insist on the timely completion of this aspect of the litigation. To ensure accurate record-keeping and to expedite the process, kindly confirm your receipt of this letter and any subsequent actions taken by emailing or mailing a copy of your response to the address provided below. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to your prompt response and continued cooperation.
