RICO — Verdict Form and Special Interrogatories are legal documents used in the U.S. legal system to determine if a plaintiff has a valid civil claim under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). The RICO — Verdict Form and Special Interrogatories consist of a set of questions that must be answered in order to determine if the plaintiff has a valid claim. The RICO — Verdict Form is used by the court to determine whether a plaintiff has proven their claim under the RICO Act. This form will ask questions regarding the defendant’s actions, which must be answered in order to determine if the plaintiff has proven their case. The Special Interrogatories are a set of questions that must be answered to determine if the plaintiff has a valid claim under the RICO Act. These questions will ask about the defendant’s actions, such as whether they have participated in or facilitated a pattern of racketeering activity. There are two types of RICO — Verdict Form and Special Interrogatories: the general interrogatories and the special interrogatories. The general interrogatories are questions that apply to all cases under the RICO Act. The special interrogatories are questions that are specific to a particular case.
