00:00It's good to ask questions, whether you're a scientist, journalist, game show host, or,
00:07especially, a party in a civil case.
00:11Interrogatories are questions that one party can ask another party about their case.
00:15The party that receives interrogatories from an opposing party must answer these questions
00:19under oath.
00:21And that party has 30 days to respond to those questions, although the court can allow either
00:27a shorter or longer amount of time.
00:30If the other party doesn't answer an interrogatory question, you can ask the judge to order them
00:34to do so.
00:36Now, an interrogatory is meant to obtain relevant information for the case.
00:41If you receive improper interrogatories to answer, you can object.
00:46For example, if the interrogatory asks about something that has nothing to do with the
00:50case, you can object that it's irrelevant.
00:55Interrogatories aren't intended to annoy or pester litigants.
00:58If too much is being asked, your objection could be that they are overly broad, burdensome,
01:04or even harassment.
01:06In addition, questions cannot infringe upon privileged communications.
01:12This is information shared in confidential relationships, such as with a priest, a doctor,
01:17or an attorney.
01:19Any objections you have, no matter what they are, must be written down first, filed with
01:24the court, and sent to your opponent within 30 days.
01:27Or you may not be able to raise objections later.
01:30Once the objections are made, you don't have to answer until the judge rules on their
01:34validity, whether to sustain the objection or overrule it and allow the question.
01:41If you have to answer, but the answer is contained in a document already, then you can simply
01:45give your opponent those documents instead of specifically researching them yourself.
01:51Interrogatories are generally not used for evidence in a trial, but can be admissible
01:55in certain situations.
01:58LegalYou is there to help you navigate the interrogatory process, along with any other
02:02legal concerns.
02:04You have a right to information.
02:06All you have to do is ask.
