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.
You have 30 days after the form or special interrogatories were served to you (35 days if served by mail from within California) to serve your responses to the interrogatories. Sometimes, rather than answering the interrogatory, you may wish to object to the request on legal grounds.
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.
You can object to an interrogatory if the information sought is known by the requesting party or available to both parties equally. For example, you should raise this objection if the answers are publicly available or in a third-party's custody or control.
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.
So, can you refuse to answer interrogatories? The answer is, no, you may not.That answer must either permit inspection of the requested information or object to the production of the information for a specific reason.
The plaintiff must respond to your requests for discovery. The plaintiff must respond by the deadline. There are different ways to make sure you get each kind of discovery if the plaintiff does not give it to you by the deadline.
Responding to Form InterrogatoriesAnswer each question, being careful to answer each subpart, if one exists. Read the question carefully, and answer only what it asks. You may attach exhibits, if necessary. The response must be verified, meaning you must swear that the responses given are true.
When you respond to a discovery request, you should make sure to do it within the timeframe listed in the discovery request or in the scheduling order if the judge issued one. In some cases, the judge will hold a court conference to establish a timeframe for discovery, motions, and the trial.
