FAQ

You must answer each interrogatory separately and fully in writing under oath, unless you object to it. You must explain why you object. You must sign your answers and objections.

To sanction a party failing to comply with discovery, the court can order attorney's fees, or they can order the fact you are seeking to establish as having been established for purposes of your case, because the other side will not respond to the discovery on this issue.

Interrogatories ask questions; the responding party provides written answers. A request for production of documents requests the production of documents (or other tangible things); the responding party provides documents.

So, can you refuse to answer interrogatories? The answer is, no, you may not. You must answer a Rule 33 interrogatory within 30 days of being served with it. That answer must either permit inspection of the requested information or object to the production of the information for a specific reason.

The most damaging thing that can happen if someone lies on interrogatories is that they can be punished by the judge at trial. When the truth is discovered, the judge may impose a fine, assign additional litigation costs, or dismiss the case entirely if it was brought by the party who provided false information.

If the plaintiff does not respond to the court order, then you can file a Motion to Dismiss and you may win your case. Send a final request. If they do not respond to the final request within 30 days you can send the court an application for entry of final judgment or dismissal.

Motions to Compel If a party doesn't respond to interrogatories or requests for production, then the party seeking those answers must file a motion to compel with the court. If the court grants the motion to compel, then the party who objected or failed to answer must then do so.

The motion to compel is used to ask the court to order the non-complying party to produce the documentation or information requested, and/or to sanction the non-complying party for their failure to comply with the discovery requests.
