Form Interrogatories are a standard set of written questions used in the discovery phase of a legal proceeding, typically a civil lawsuit. These interrogatories are pre-written and cover a range of common topics relevant to the case, such as the identity of parties, facts surrounding the dispute, and evidence supporting each party’s claims. Form Interrogatories are served by one party to the other, who is then required to respond under oath within a specified time frame. They serve as a crucial tool for gathering information, clarifying issues, and streamlining the litigation process by standardizing the exchange of information between parties.
