A Wake North Carolina Agreed Order Granting Additional Time to Plead and Respond to Interrogatories and Requests for Production is a legal document issued by the Wake County court that allows parties in a lawsuit to extend the deadline for filing their responses and providing requested information.

It is considered a crucial step in the discovery process, where parties exchange relevant information to build their cases. The specific names of different types of Wake North Carolina Agreed Orders Granting Additional Time to Plead and Respond to Interrogatories and Requests for Production may vary depending on individual cases.
