Code Civ. Proc., § 2030.060 However, "form interrogatories" which have been approved by the state Judicial CouncilSee e.g., do not count toward this limit.

In the United States, use of interrogatories is governed by the law where the case has been filed. All federal courts operate under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which places various limitations on the use of this device, permitting individual jurisdictions to limit interrogatories to twenty-five questions per party. Interrogatories are typically "verified", meaning that the response will include an affidavit and will therefore be under oath. The affidavit may distinguish interrogatories from requests for admission, which are not normally answered under oath.

California Code of Civil Procedure Section 2030.050.

In nearly all U.S. jurisdictions, interrogatories are called just that and are supposed to be custom-written, although many questions can be reused from one case to the next. In the U.S. states of California, New Jersey, and Florida, the courts have promulgated standard "form" interrogatories.

In California state courts, discovery is governed by the Civil Discovery Act of 1986 (Title 4 (Sections 2016-2036) of the Code of Civil Procedure), as subsequently amended. A significant number of appellate court decisions have interpreted and construed the provisions of the Act. California written discovery generally consists of four methods: Request for Production of Documents, Form Interrogatories, Special Interrogatories, and Requests for Admissions.Cal. Code Civ. Proc.

But back then, interrogatories could only elicit admissible evidence (not the broader modern standard of "reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence") and could only request evidence in support of the plaintiff's case, not either side's case (that is, they could not ask for evidence which the defendant intended to use in support of his defenses and was otherwise entirely irrelevant to the plaintiff's case). Even worse, this was purely a one-way procedure, because interrogatories could only be pleaded as part of a bill (a pleading initiating a suit in equity). A defendant who needed to obtain evidence in support of his defenses had to file a cross-bill against the plaintiff to plead his own interrogatories. Available through HeinOnline.

This causes many parties to reserve one or two interrogatories until the closing days of discovery, when they ask if any of the previous responses to discovery have changed, and then ask what the changes are. California depositions are not limited to one day, and objections must be made in detail or they are permanently waived. A party may only propound thirty-five written special interrogatories on any other single party unless the propounding party submits a "declaration of necessity". No "subparts, or a compound, conjunctive, or disjunctive question" may be included in an interrogatory.Cal.

Upton, Maritime Warfare and Prize (appendix)(reproducing standard form interrogatories for the United States District Court). Admiralty courts rarely heard live testimony. The commissioners' interrogatories sought to establish the relative size, speed, and force of the vessels, what signals were exchanged and what fighting ensued, the location of the capture, the state of the weather and "the degree of light or darkness," and what other vessels were in sight. That was because naval prize law gave assisting vessels, defined as those that were "in signal distance" at the time, a share of the proceeds.

The Brindisi-Ostuni Archdiocese investigated such a case from 7 November 2018 until 21 March 2019 with all the relevant interrogatories and medical evidence presented to the C.C.S. following that investigation. The current postulator for this cause is Dr. Francesca Consolini.

Unless all parties agree otherwise, the parties should submit to each other the Initial Disclosures under Rule 26(a) within 14 days after the conference. Only after the Initial Disclosures have been sent, the main discovery process begins, that includes: depositions, interrogatories, request for admissions and request for production of documents. There are limitation on interrogatories to twenty-five requests per party each, but there is no limitations on RFAs and RFPs, unless there is a different Local Rule for the State. Depositions are limited to ten per party, with no deposition lasting longer than seven hours per day.

However, in most cases, the parties will require additional information to fully understand each other's legal and factual claims. The discovery process, including the use of interrogatories, can help the parties obtain that information from each other. For an example of how interrogatories may be used, in a motor vehicle accident lawsuit an injured plaintiff typically asserts that the defendant driver committed the tort of negligence in causing the accident. To prove negligence, the law requires the injured plaintiff to show that the driver owed them a duty of care and breached it, causing the injury.

Interrogatories are used to gain information from the other party relevant to the issues in a lawsuit. The law and issues will differ depending upon the facts of a case and the laws of the jurisdiction in which a lawsuit is filed. For some types of cases there are standard sets of interrogatories available that cover the essential facts, and may be modified for the case in which they are used. When a lawsuit is filed, the pleadings filed by the parties are intended to let the other parties know what each side intends to prove at trial, and what legal case they have to answer.

If the affiant is a party in the case, the affiant's opponent may be successful in having the affidavit admitted as evidence, as statements by a party-opponent are admissible through an exception to the hearsay rule.

In 1864, he wrote a book named The law and practice relating to discovery by interrogatories under the Common law procedure act, 1854. He was knighted in 1884. He married Isabel Congreve, daughter of Sir William Congreve, 2nd Baronet.

In law, interrogatories (also known as requests for further information) are a formal set of written questions propounded by one litigant and required to be answered by an adversary in order to clarify matters of fact and help to determine in advance what facts will be presented at any trial in the case.

For Interrogatories, there is no time limit for a motion to compel if the party upon which the interrogatories were propounded has failed to respond. However, if the responses are merely insufficient, the propounding party has a 45-day limit in which to submit the motion to compel. Additionally, the propounding party must "meet and confer" with the responding party prior to submitting the motion. Pursuant to California Rule of Court 3-1345 a motion to compel must include the following parts: (c) Contents of separate statement A separate statement is a separate document filed and served with the discovery motion that provides all the information necessary to understand each discovery request and all the responses to it that are at issue.

Assuming that the defendant did not dispute driving a vehicle that was involved in the accident that injured the plaintiff, the case would come down to whether the driver drove in accordance with the standard of a reasonable driver, and whether the injured person's injuries are a foreseeable consequence of the driving. The parties may use interrogatories to seek information, including concessions as to how the accident occurred, from each other. The injured plaintiff might serve interrogatories on the defendant driver seeking information that would support the plaintiff's theory of the case. If the plaintiff is alleging that the defendant was speeding, the plaintiff might ask the defendant to state the speed of the defendant's vehicle at the time of the accident.

Brewster filed a lawsuit against Technicolor, Inc. and Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation on April 1, 1941.

The city filed a petition to vacate the judgement and in October 1952 Garrett accepted a $4,567 settlement from the city.

Major reforms enacted in New York in the late 1840s and in England in the early 1850s laid the foundation for the rise of modern discovery by imposing a clear separation between pleadings and discovery as distinct phases of procedural law. Discovery devices could now be invoked independently of the pleadings. The New York reforms went much farther, by directly merging common law and equity procedure (which would also happen in England in the early 1870s), and by expressly authorizing pretrial oral examinations of both opposing parties and third-party witnesses, the basis of the modern deposition. (Up to that point, discovery from able-bodied opposing parties was still limited to interrogatories.) In fact, the New York code of civil procedure (brought about by David Dudley Field II) went so far as to abolish written interrogatories.

Methods of Discovery in Florida:Fla.R.Civ.P. 1.280(a) General Provisions Governing Discovery. 2020. # Oral Depositions # Written depositions # Written interrogatories # Production of documents or things or permission to enter upon land or other property for inspection and other purposes # Physical and mental examinations # Requests for admission According to Fla.R.Civ.P. 1.280(b)(1), all nonprivileged information that is relevant to the subject of the pending action may be discovered.

Forty interrogatories, including parts and sub-parts, may be propounded by one party on any other party. There is no requirement for a "privilege log": federal Rule 26(b)(5) was not adopted by the D.C. Superior Court.

California, on the other hand, operates under the Civil Discovery Act of 1986 (a revision of an older 1957 act), which is codified in the California Code of Civil Procedure. The Discovery Act allows up to thirty-five specially prepared interrogatories per party,California Code of Civil Procedure Section 2030.030. but this limit may be exceeded simply by executing and serving a declaration of necessity with the interrogatories.California Code of Civil Procedure Section 2030.040.

In the episode, Peralta is notified that his apartment is going through new rules and must pay additional money if he wants to keep it. Meanwhile, Holt conducts interrogatories for each detective. The episode was seen by an estimated 2.66 million household viewers and gained a 1.3/3 ratings share among adults aged 18–49, according to Nielsen Media Research. The episode received mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised Andy Samberg's performance and the writing.

A request for admission is a list of questions which are similar in some respects to interrogatories, but different in form and purpose. Each "question" is in the form of a declarative statement which the answering party must then either admit, deny, or state in detail why he or she can neither admit nor deny the truthfulness of the statement (e.g. for lack of knowledge, etc.). This effectively puts the admissions in the form of true-false questions.

Also, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure have placed twenty-five questions per party limitations on the use of interrogatories, but there is no numerical limit in FRCP on the requests for admission (unless specified differently in Local Rules of the state, which most states do have). In California, requests for admission are generally limited to the numerical limit of 35. However, a party in California who wishes for additional requests for admission may make a declaration for additional discovery.

Paralegals often have taken a prescribed series of courses in law and legal processes. Paralegals may analyze and summarize depositions, prepare and answer interrogatories, draft procedural motions and other routine briefs, perform legal research and analysis, draft research memos, and perform case and project management. Paralegals often handle drafting much of the paperwork in probate cases, divorce actions, bankruptcies, and investigations. Consumers of legal services are typically billed for the time paralegals spend on their cases.

The miracle needed for beatification was investigated in Santiago de los Caballeros from 10 December 1985 until 18 December 1985 in which all medical documents and interrogatories were compiled and sent to Rome. The decree of validation for that process was issued on 13 December 1996. The medical board based in Rome approved the miracle around a decade later on 18 October 2007 while theologians did likewise on 16 May 2008. The C.C.S. followed suit on 16 December 2008.

Durano became titled as Venerable - on 1 July 2000 - after Pope John Paul II confirmed the fact that the late priest had in fact lived a life of heroic virtue. The process for a miracle opened in Turin in 1936 and concluded not long after in which all interrogatories and medical documentation was collected. The C.C.S. validated this process decades later on 13 January 1995 while a medical board approved the healing to be a miracle on 19 February 2001.

Rules are relaxed but still apply to some degree. In some jurisdictions, corporations must still be represented by a lawyer in small- claims court. Expensive court procedures such as interrogatories and depositions are usually not allowed in small-claims court, and practically all matters filed in small-claims court are set for trial. Under some court rules, should the defendant not show up at trial and not have requested a postponement, a default judgment may be entered in favour of the plaintiff.

Prize commissioners took custody of the vessel and its cargo, and gathered the ship's papers, charts, and other documents. They had a special duty to notify the prize court of perishable property, to be sold promptly to prevent spoilage and the proceeds held for whoever prevailed in the prize proceeding.Upton, Maritime Warfare and Prize, p. 454 The American vessel Betsey under attack by a swarm of seven French corsairs, in 1797 The commissioners took testimony from witnesses on standard form written interrogatories.

The Bank's answers, which were filed with the court indicated that the Bank held $17,901.94 in Construction Associates' checking account. One of the interrogatories stated, "You man deduct from the amount to be withheld money owed to you by the defendant or the plaintiff, if the amount is not disputed. If you make this deduction, state the amount deducted and the name of the person indebted to you." The space for the Bank's answer to this question was left blank.

This dossier included documentation and witness interrogatories essential to exploring Herrero's life and reputation for holiness. Herrero became titled as Venerable on 27 February 2017 after Pope Francis confirmed that he had lived a model life of heroic virtue. His beatification depends on the papal confirmation of a miracle - in most cases a healing - that both medicine and science cannot explain. One such case was investigated under a diocesan tribunal and received validation from the C.C.S. on 9 March 2007.

Credible witnesses must be used to give meaning or existence to certain types of documents, such as a last will and testament, codicil, apostille, deposition, interrogatories, certified document, or government record. For example, in most common law jurisdictions, two or three witnesses must sign their names to the Will at the attestation clause below the testimonium clause that is executed by the testator. The exact number of witnesses depend on the state or local law. Under the English Statute of Wills of 1540, it was three witnesses.

However, the Representatives had lost all patience, and insisted upon the Ministers presenting themselves at the bar of the House. The latter at length obeyed the summons; Napoleon having consented, though with great reluctance, to their compliance with the mandate. He required them, however, to be accompanied by his brother Lucien Bonaparte, as an Extraordinary Commissioner, appointed to reply to the Interrogatories of the Chamber. At 18:00 in the evening of 21 June, Lucien Bonaparte and the Ministers made their appearance in the Chamber of Representatives.

A party may use discovery to obtain material that will be inadmissible as evidence at trial as long as the material is reasonably calculated to lead to admissible evidence. Methods of discovery include depositions (recorded interviews with witnesses under oath), interrogatories (written questions), requests for production of documents or things, medical examinations, and requests for admissions. Ideally and usually, discovery takes place without direct involvement by the court. Except for medical examinations and inspection of medical records, discovery requests need not be authorized by the court.

The beatification process commenced in the Diocese of Verona in an informative process opened on 24 October 1955 until its conclusion later in 1957 after it was determined all available documentation and interrogatories had been collated. This also contained Baldo's approved writings which received approval of theologians in 1962 and allowed for the Congregation of Rites to validate the informative process. An apostolic process was later held. Baldo became known as a Servant of God with the formal commencement of the cause under Pope Paul VI on 11 June 1977.

Q & A from Committee for Bud Cummins (no date). United States House Committee on the Judiciary; retrieved May 18, 2007 (written responses by Bud Cummins to committee interrogatories, post-hearing). Before a March 2006 revision to the PATRIOT Act, interim U.S. Attorneys had a 120-day term limit, pending confirmation by the Senate of a presidential nominee. The Attorney General makes interim appointments; after the revision, the Attorney General's interim appointees had no term limit, effectively bypassing the Senate confirmation process if the President declined to put forward a nomination.

Appearing on the day appointed he was pressed to take an oath, ex officio, to answer any questions about his sermon; but he refused it, because there were no interrogatories in writing. He again offered a copy of his sermon if demanded according to the statutes, and the next day delivered one, which was accepted. But on pretence of former contumacy the vice-chancellor commanded him again to surrender himself prisoner. Ford appealed from him to the congregation, and delivered his appeal in writing to the proctors (Atherton Bruch and John Doughty).

Both parties may take discovery in the form of requests for admission, interrogatories, requests for production, and depositions. As with a regular trial, the TTAB may be called upon to resolve disputes over whether discovery requests are overbroad, and whether discovery responses are inadequate. The senior registrant in such a proceeding has ample incentive to oppose the grant of a concurrent use registration, because a registered trademark is presumed to apply throughout the entire United States. Thus, the grant of a concurrent use registration carves out some geographic territory from the senior registrant's exclusive control.

After the initial filings and interrogatories, negotiations continued and ultimately, the suits were settled out of court when Vampire Weekend paid an undisclosed figure to Ms. Kennis. Mr Brody ultimately was not party to the cash settlement. Mr. Brody was initially represented by the Los Angeles law firm Lavely & Singer and later by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. In Mr. Brody’s initial answer to the suit he provided detailed information about the taking of the photo, including information about Ms. Kennis, who simply went by the name “Kirsten” as a model.

If one is aggrieved by the judicial outcome of an action and wishes to appeal, he may be forever barred from doing so if he fails to meet the deadline by which his appeal may be filed. By court order, or by local rule, there may be other time constraints. One may be required to answer interrogatories or a request to produce or other discovery pleadings within a given time. He may be required to give a certain number of days' advance notice before he intends to depose a party or witness.

The pursuit of compensation for asbestos injuries often involves both litigation against solvent defendants and filing claims against asbestos bankruptcy trusts. The amount of compensation recovered by an injured plaintiff may depend on whether evidence of exposure to products from bankrupt firms is introduced at trial. If no evidence of exposure from bankrupt firms is presented then increased financial responsibility is likely to be assigned to solvent defendants. Researchers from RAND Corporation found that if a company filed for bankruptcy plaintiffs claimed exposure to their products in interrogatories and depositions at significantly reduced rates.

Those included Ortiz, Chericotti, and others. In total, 19 theoreticians and propagandists and 11 thieves claiming themselves to be anarchists. The chief prosecutor, Bulot, prohibited the press from reproducing the interrogatories of Jean Grave and Sébastien Faure, leading Henri Rochefort to write, in L'Intransigeant, that the criminal association concerned not the defendants, but the magistrates and the ministers. The defendants easily discharged themselves of the inculpation of "criminal association", since at that time the French anarchist movement rejected the sole idea of association and acted exclusively as individuals.

Many U.S. state jurisdictions also provide for a "partial summary judgment" or motion for "summary adjudication of issues" which only seeks to dispose of part of a lawsuit. See, e.g., California Code of Civil Procedure section 437c(f)(1). Regardless whether the dispositive motion is for summary judgment or adjudication, the motion must be supported by declarations under oath, excerpts from depositions which are also under oath, admissions of fact by the opposing party and other discovery such as interrogatories, as well as a legal argument (points and authorities).

In Belgium, the Senior Crown prosecutor (Procureur du Roi/Procureur des Konings in trial courts and Procureur Général/Procureur-Generaal in appellate courts) is supported by subordinate Crown prosecutors (substituts/substituten). They open preliminary investigations and can hold a suspect in custody for up to 24 hours. When necessary, a Crown prosecutor will request an examining judge (juge d'instruction/onderzoeksrechter) be appointed to lead a judicial inquest. With a judge investigating, Crown prosecutors do not conduct the interrogatories, but simply lay out the scope of the crimes which the judge and law enforcement forces investigate (la saisine).

The beatification process commenced on 23 February 1957 - under Pope Pius XII - in an informative process that the Archbishop of Naples Cardinal Marcello Mimmi opened; he closed it in 1960. Interrogatories and documentation on the life and holiness of Micalizzi were all accumulated during the process and sent in boxes to the Congregation of Rites in Rome. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints validated the process on 5 July 1985. The Positio was delivered to the C.C.S. in 1998, at which point the latter would transfer it over to professional consultants for their own assessment.

All officers were questioned either personally, or in writing (Rear-Admiral Jan Hendrik van Kinsbergen, who was cruising in the Mediterranean at this time). Especially pensionary van Zeebergh had been active in the, often sharp, interrogatories. Even the stadtholder was interviewed. The commission was very critical about the conduct of the admirals Hartsinck and van Bylandt, especially the latter, who, in the words of the report, "had used all kinds of frivolous and artificial excuses to justify himselfde Jonge, pp. 629-630". The commission came to the following conclusions: :1. The ships had indeed not been well-provisioned; :2.

Civil rights cases concluded in U.S. district courts, by disposition, 1990-2006. Discovery, in the law of common law jurisdictions, is a pre-trial procedure in a lawsuit in which each party, through the law of civil procedure, can obtain evidence from the other party or parties by means of discovery devices such as interrogatories, requests for production of documents, requests for admissions and depositions. Discovery can be obtained from non-parties using subpoenas. When a discovery request is objected to, the requesting party may seek the assistance of the court by filing a motion to compel discovery.

His beatification cause commenced in Detroit in 1976 with an investigation involving witness interrogatories and the compiling of documentation. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints validated this phase on November 7, 1986; around 1995, it received the Positio dossier from postulation officials. The theological advisors approved the dossier on April 7, 1995; the cardinal and bishop members of the Congregation did so on June 20, 1995. On July 11, 1995, Pope John Paul II, in a private audience with Congregation prefect Alberto Bovone, confirmed that Casey had lived a life of heroic virtue and titled him Venerable.

Either party may seek discovery on any topic that is relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action, irrespective of whether the discovered materials would be admissible at trial, or even whether they are calculated to lead to admissible information. Deadlines to respond to discovery requests are usually 21 days. Parties may propound a maximum of 30 interrogatories on one another (including subparts), but there is no set limit on the number of depositions that can be taken, or the number of times a single witness may be deposed. An attorney may also issue a subpoena duces tecum.

This dossier was the accumulation of all evidence collected during the diocesan investigation and was a position paper designed to assess her reputation for holiness based on documents and witness interrogatories. Theologians met and approved the cause after having reviewed the dossier on 12 May 2015 as did the cardinal and bishop members of the C.C.S. on 4 October 2016. Panas became titled as Venerable on 10 October 2016 after Pope Francis confirmed that she had lived a model life that demonstrated heroic virtue. Her beatification depends upon the papal confirmation of a miracle which is in most cases a healing that neither science or medicine can explain.

Liza Soto was arrested and interrogated, but after being threatened with felony charges, insisted that she did not know about the precedence of the Buick despite being riding it during the weekend. Her attorney, Michael Graham, quickly took the matter public and threatened with taking legal action if the interrogatories continued and eventually municipal attorneys intervened. The media swiftly covered the case and, the interviews ceased. Unable to continue this line of inquiry, the interviews turned to those close to her, with the police discovering that she was a supporter of Puerto Rican independence from an employer that felt that she had once wore a shirt that was "un-American".

In Australia, and in England and Wales, there is no right of oral examination of opposing parties in civil litigation, save that in England and Wales the pre-litigation discovery process allows for each party to make written questions and the answers to those questions will be relied upon during if there is any discrepancy in the oral evidence given in court. Oral examination is typically completed after pleadings and requests for particulars by the exchange of affidavits of documents and sometimes written questions and answers (interrogatories). Often affidavits are exchanged before trial, but the first opportunity to orally question the opposing party's evidence is usually at trial.

He said the importance of this treatise was at once apparent; and that to the commercial lawyer in the Eastern cities of the United States it would be exceedingly useful. The articles in volume 11 run from descent to ecclesiastical law. It contains a short article on descent and distribution; a discussion of discovery, inspection and interrogatories, under the English practice; an elaborate article on distress; an article on easements and profits, which the Harvard Law Review said was the most interesting article in the volume to an American lawyer; and an elaborate disquisition on ecclesiastical law. The articles in volume 12 run from education to electric lighting and power.

The beatification process opened under Pope John Paul II on 31 May 1988 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints titled Gargani as a Servant of God and issued the official edict declaring "nihil obstat" (no objections to the cause). Cardinal Michele Giordano inaugurated the diocesan process of investigation on 12 September 1988 and later closed it on 16 May 2002; the documentation was sent to Rome to the C.C.S. who validated the diocesan process on 21 March 2003. From 2007 the postulation began compiling the Positio dossier which was a collation of all documentation and interrogatories gathered from the diocesan process. This dossier was submitted to the C.C.S. later in 2013.

The concept of "discoverability" in an information science and online context is a loose borrowing from the concept of the similar name in the legal profession. In law, "discovery" is a pre- trial procedure in a lawsuit in which each party, through the law of civil procedure, can obtain evidence from the other party or parties by means of discovery devices such as a request for answers to interrogatories, request for production of documents, request for admissions and depositions. Discovery can be obtained from non-parties using subpoenas. When a discovery request is objected to, the requesting party may seek the assistance of the court by filing a motion to compel discovery.

The written interrogatories and ship's papers established the nationality of the prize and her crew, and the origin and destination of the cargo: the vessel was said to be "confiscated out of her own mouth."Colombos, A Treatise on the Law of Prize p. 356 (quoting Sir James Marriott on using a vessel's own papers to condemn her) One considerable difference between prize law and ordinary Anglo-American criminal law is the reversal of the normal onus probandi or burden of proof.Colombos, A Treatise on the Law of Prize p. 361 discussing onus probandi) While in criminal courts a defendant is innocent until proven guilty, in prize court a vessel is guilty unless proven innocent.

The beatification process commenced in an informative process that opened in Albano on 26 October 1967 and concluded its work – after having collected documentation and available interrogatories (including that of Alberione) – on 23 March 1972. A smaller process opened in Alba on 10 December 1968 and closed on 4 May 1971 while theologians approved her writings as being orthodox on 24 May 1974. An apostolic process was held from 21 October 1982 until 17 June 1987. The formal introduction to the cause was issued on 25 February 1982 once the Congregation for the Causes of Saints voiced approval at the continuation of the cause and the conferral of the posthumous title of Servant of God upon the late religious.

The beatification process for the late prelate opened in the Kraków archdiocese under Cardinal Franciszek Macharski in a diocesan process that launched on 18 March 1994 and closed on 24 April 2001; its task was to accumulate documentation (including his spiritual writings) and witness interrogatories. The formal launch to the cause came on 7 July 1994 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome issued the "nihil obstat" (no objections) decree and titled Pietraszko as a Servant of God. The C.C.S. later validated this process on 22 February 2002 as having adhered to the congregation's regulations for conducting causes. In 2012 the postulation (officials in charge of the cause) submitted the Positio dossier to the C.C.S. officials.

The beatification process commenced under Pope Pius XII on 3 December 1953 in the informative process that granted her the title of Servant of God as the first official stage in the process. The process concluded its business of accumulating documents and interrogatories on 12 January 1956 while the process was validated in Rome decades later on 14 December 1984. The Positio came to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in 1991 while consulting theologians in Rome approved the cause on 15 November 1996 and the C.C.S. voiced approval 18 March 1997. She was declared Venerable on 7 July 1997 after Pope John Paul II declared that she had lived a life of heroic virtue.

The beatification process commenced in an informative process that opened in 1729 and concluded sometime after having collected her writings and available witness interrogatories. Theologians met to discuss her theological writings and approved them as orthodox on 21 May 1760. An apostolic process was also held as a means of continuing the work of the previous process while the two were validated in Rome on 26 January 1803. The formal introduction to the cause came on 16 September 1769 under Pope Clement XIV when she was proclaimed a Servant of God - the first official stage in the process of sanctification. She was proclaimed to be Venerable on 19 August 1838 after Pope Gregory XVI recognized her life of heroic virtue.

Although a judge can throw out a guilty verdict if it was not supported by the evidence, a jurist has no authority to override a verdict that favors a defendant. It was established in Bushel's Case that a judge cannot order the jury to convict, no matter how strong the evidence is. In civil cases a special verdict can be given, but in criminal cases a general verdict is rendered, because requiring a special verdict could apply pressure to the jury, and because of the jury's historic function of tempering rules of law by common sense brought to bear upon the facts of a specific case. For this reason, Justice Black and Justice Douglas indicated their disapproval of special interrogatories even in civil cases.

A major flaw, though, of the New York code of civil procedure was that it only allowed parties to seek discovery on issues on which they would have the burden of proof at trial. This caused lawyers for defendants to plead fictional defenses in answers, because they still could not directly pursue discovery into the plaintiff's claims. In 1861, Rule 67 of the Federal Equity Rules was amended to make deposition by oral examination the regular method of taking evidence in equity in federal courts; taking witness testimony by written interrogatories was now the exception. Although depositions were still taken in front of court-appointed examiners, their role had been reduced to the preparation of summary narratives to be relied upon as evidence by the court.

The postulation (the officials in charge of the cause) submitted the official Positio dossier to the C.C.S. in Rome on 15 September 2015 for assessment and it was a dossier that drew upon the documents and interrogatories collected during the diocesan investigation. It also was meant to present the case for Giannotti's holiness and the manner in which this was perceived during his life. Theologians issued a unanimous agreement to the cause on 6 February 2018 as did the cardinal and bishop members of the C.C.S. on 26 March 2019. Giannotti became titled as Venerable on 6 April 2019 after Pope Francis signed a decree that acknowledged that the late friar had practiced heroic virtue throughout his life to an adequate degree.

The Westminster Assembly responded by sending a delegation, led by Stephen Marshall, a fiery preacher who had delivered several sermons to the Long Parliament, to protest the Erastian nature of the ordinance. (Some MPs argued that the Assembly by this action committed a praemunire and should be punished.) Parliament responded by sending a delegation which included Nathaniel Fiennes to the Westminster Assembly, along with a list of interrogatories related to the jure divino nature of church government. The Assembly responded by flatly rejecting the Erastian position – with John Lightfoot and Thomas Coleman being the lone members speaking in favour of Erastianism. George Gillespie (1613–1648), Scottish Commissioner to the Westminster Assembly who wrote Aaron's Rod Blossoming, one of the most important defenses of Presbyterian polity.

The beatification process launched on 22 February 2007 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official "nihil obstat" (no objections) decree thus providing their assent to the cause being opened and titling Nottegar as a Servant of God. The diocesan process opened in Verona on 14 May 2007 and concluded later on 6 June 2009 after a period of gathering evidence that could attest to Nottegar's reputation for holiness (writings or other documentation as well as witness interrogatories). The C.C.S. later validated the diocesan investigation in Rome on 23 April 2010 after confirming it adhered to their guidelines for conducting causes. The postulation drafted and submitted the Positio dossier to the C.C.S. officials in Rome on 21 November 2013.

The beatification process commenced under Pope John Paul II in Bogotá once the Congregation for the Causes of Saints granted the "nihil obstat" (nothing against) to the cause on 27 October 1995 in a simultaneous act that conferred upon him the title of Servant of God. The diocesan process opened on 24 November 1995 and concluded its business in collecting documents and interrogatories on 24 February 1997 - there were also 20 cases of purported miracles recorded for the cause though one was selected for investigation. Roman officials validated the process on 24 September 1999. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints received the Positio dossier in Rome in 2010 and historians deemed that the cause bore no historical obstacles on 1 March 2011.

The beatification process started on 23 August 2000 after the forum for the cause to be conducted was transferred from the Melkite diocese Beirut-Byblos to the Melkite archdiocese Baalbek. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints titled Bottegal as a Servant of God on 22 September 2000 after issuing the official "nihil obstat" decree that allowed for the cause to open. The diocesan process was conducted from 10 June 2001 until 10 March 2002 at which stage the cause was taken to Rome where the C.C.S. validated the cause on 30 May 2003 as having complied with their regulations for conducting causes. The C.C.S. received the Positio dossier in 2005 for assessment; this dossier contained both interrogatories and documentation relating both to Bottegal's life and his reputation for holiness.

Like all other tort cases, the plaintiff or their attorney files a lawsuit in a court with appropriate jurisdiction. However, unlike other tort cases, many states require that a plaintiff take specific steps before a medical malpractice lawsuit can be filed, such as providing the defendant with advance notice of intent to sue, obtaining and filing with the court a certificate of merit from a qualified medical expert who attests to the validity of the plaintiff's cause of action, submitting the claim to a panel of legal and medical experts for evaluation, or participating in mediation in an attempt to resolve the claim without litigation. Between the filing of suit and the trial, the parties are required to share information through discovery. Such information includes interrogatories, requests for documents and deposition.

The beatification process was launched on 9 December 1991 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official "nihil obstat" (no objections to the cause) decree and titled Tasca as a Servant of God. The diocesan investigation was conducted in Vicenza from 7 March until 23 November 1992 at which point documentation was sent to the C.C.S. in Rome for further investigation; the C.C.S. validated the process on 1 October 1993 as having complied with their regulations. The postulation submitted the Positio dossier to the C.C.S. in 1994; this was a dossier that compiled interrogatories and documents relating to Tasca's life and her reputation for holiness. Theologians debated and approved the dossier on 21 January 2010 after a first debate held on 20 June 2009 proved inconclusive.

Celotex filed its motion in September 1981 and argued that summary judgment was proper because Catrett had failed to produce evidence that any of Celotex's products were the proximate cause of damages within the jurisdictional limits of the court. Celotex noted that in interrogatories, Catrett had failed to identify any witnesses who could testify to her husband's exposure to Celotex's products. Catrett then sought to enter into evidence three documents: a transcript of a deposition of decedent, a letter from one of decedent's former employers whom petitioner planned to call as a trial witness, and a letter from an official of an insurance company to Catrett's attorney. Catrett alleged that each of the documents tended to establish that the decedent had been exposed to Celotex's asbestos products in Chicago during 1970-1971.

The cause for canonization commenced in 1950 in Roermond in an informative process that had been assigned the task of collecting available documents and interrogatories pertaining to her life and her time as a religious. Her writings received theological approval on 28 February 1983 from the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. The official start of the cause came on 2 April 1982 after Stollenwerk was titled as a Servant of God. The Positio was submitted to Rome for their assessment in 1985 and the theologians voted in favor of the continuation of the cause on 23 October 1990 while the C.C.S. themselves likewise approved the cause on 26 March 1991. This allowed for Pope John Paul II to confirm her life of heroic virtue on 14 May 1991 and name Stollenwerk as being Venerable.

As a result, the trial court ordered the Bank to pay the entire sum remaining on the garnishment, $38,769.71, as well as Bud Bailey's attorney fees. The bank appealed, conceding that it had erred by failing to claim the offset in its response to the interrogatories but arguing that the writ of garnishment did not apply to the after-deposited funds. This court agreed, holding that "the Writ of Garnishment only had effect with regard to the funds that were held by the Bank at the time the Write was served. However, we remanded with instructions for the trial court to make "a determination for what amount, if any, Bank should be required to pay solely for its failure to answer adequately the interrogatory served with the Writ.

If the plaintiff alleges that the defendant failed to control the car properly or failed to pay proper attention to the road and other vehicles, the plaintiff could ask interrogatory questions that would help prove those allegations or require disclosure of the basis of any denial of negligence by the defendant. The driver may have a defense to those allegations, perhaps if the accident occurred at low speed, and was unavoidable (maybe due to some third party intervention). The injured person may, however, argue that the driver was still responsible (perhaps the driver should have used the horn of the vehicle to alert the third party), or there may be other allegations. The defense may similarly use interrogatories to help build legal and factual defenses to the plaintiff's case.

The beatification process launched on 14 November 1984 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official nihil obstat (no objections to the cause) decree and titled Boismenu as a Servant of God. The diocesan process was inaugurated in the Bereina diocese under its bishop Benedict To Varpin on 6 November 1984 and later concluded its work of collecting documentation and interrogatories on 21 March 1987. The evidence collected during that process was submitted in boxes to the C.C.S. office in Rome where the C.C.S. issued a decree on 18 November 1988 that validated the process as having complied with their regulations for conducting causes. The postulation would later submit the Positio dossier to the C.C.S. in 1996 for further assessment – a dossier detailing his life and reputation for holiness as well as all evidence collated during the diocesan process.

Discovery evolved out of a unique feature of early equitable pleading procedure before the English Court of Chancery: among various requirements, a plaintiff's bill in equity was required to plead "positions." These were statements of evidence that the plaintiff assumed to exist in support of his pleading and which he believed lay within the knowledge of the defendant. They strongly resembled modern requests for admissions, in that the defendant was required to plead only whether they were true or false. At some point between the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603) and the late seventeenth century, positions were gradually replaced by interrogatories—written questions which the defendant was required to truthfully respond to under oath in his answer to the bill based on information within his own personal knowledge as well as documents in his possession.

The beatification process opened on 28 September 2004 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official "nihil obstat" (no objections to the cause made) edict and titled Zanetta as a Servant of God. The cause opened in the Novara diocese under the then-Bishop (now cardinal) Renato Corti on 17 October 2004 in a diocesan process that lasted until 29 April 2006 collecting documentation and witness interrogatories (including from her relatives). The documentation was sent to the C.C.S. in Rome who issued a decree on 22 February 2008 validating the process (the decree was issued to highlight that the diocesan process was not inconsistent with C.C.S. rules for conducting beatification processes on the diocesan level). The postulation (the officials leading and coordinating the cause) compiled and submitted the official Positio dossier to the C.C.S. in 2014 for evaluation.

The beatification process launched in the late bishop's diocese in an informative process that opened in 1929 and concluded later in 1934; this process was initiated to collect witness interrogatories and documentation that could attest to the late bishop's holiness. Theologians later confirmed his spiritual writings on 12 January 1950 as being in line with the Church's teachings and not in contradiction of it. The formal introduction to the cause came under Pope Pius XII on 21 June 1952 and he became titled as a Servant of God. It was after this that an apostolic process was launched in order to compile additional information on Moreau which spanned from 1953 until 1955. The Congregation for Rites validated these two processes in Rome on 31 January 1959 determining that the processes adhered to the rules the C.O.R. issued.

PLANS argued that Steiner himself described anthroposophy as a training to access skills of psychic awareness latent in each human being, and argued that the discipline "spiritual science" is not a true science nor philosophy, but a theology. PLANS acknowledged that Steiner's supporters frequently concede the spiritual foundations of anthroposophy and Waldorf education, but claimed they make a false distinction between spiritual and religious. PLANS considered anthroposophy to be part of a New Age religious movement, characterized by its seekers' rejection of orthodoxy and creedal forms of religious expression in favor of a more eclectic and individualized path of spiritual-psychological transformation, a process which PLANS claimed to be generally acknowledged as "religious experience".Plaintiff's "Answer to Special Interrogatories", pages 3 and 4, (Jan 15, 2004) PLANS wanted the court to agree that Waldorf methods schools lead students through New Age rituals and interpret them as religious practices.

Associate Justice Hugo Black wrote the decision for the unanimous Court. Scull made four claims: # That the committee was part of a program of state-sponsored harassment of those attempting to win racial integration of Virginia's public schools; # That the questions put to him violated his First Amendment rights to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and right to petition; # That the information sought was not relevant to the legislative function of the Virginia General Assembly; and # That despite repeated requests, the committee failed to show that its interrogatories were relevant to its legal charge. Black declined to address the first three of Scull's claims, deciding instead to rule on the narrow grounds of the fourth claim. The record of the committee's proceedings showed that Scull asked the committee what the purpose of its inquiry was, so that he could determine which questions put to him were pertinent.

Grave. The beatification process was introduced under Pope Pius XII on 2 July 1944 and the late archbishop became titled as a Servant of God as a result; the informative phase of the process did not open until 1952 and it later concluded in 1962 after documents and witness interrogatories were collected. These were placed in several boxes to be sent to Rome to the Congregation for Rites though the cause remained silent until 8 June 1990 when the Congregation for the Causes of Saints validated the informative phase. The postulation later submitted their Positio dossier to the C.C.S. in 1997 for assessment while it received the approval of theologians on 16 May 1997 and that of the C.C.S. on 11 November 1997. The confirmation of his model life of heroic virtue allowed for Pope John Paul II to title him as Venerable on 18 December 1997.

The beatification cause commenced in Naples in an informative process - for the collection of documentation and interrogatories - that Cardinal Alessio Ascalesi inaugurated on 29 January 1937 and that Cardinal Marcello Mimmi closed in 1954 while all of her writings received the full approval of a board of theologians who deemed that her spiritual writings were in line with official doctrine. The formal introduction to the cause came under Pope Paul VI on 4 April 1974 in which she was titled as a Servant of God while an apostolic process was later held in April 1977 in Naples under Cardinal Corrado Ursi. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints validated these two processes on 12 July 1991 while receiving the official Positio dossier from the postulation in 1994. Theologians issued their approval to the cause in a meeting on 29 January 2002 while the C.C.S. themselves likewise issued their approval of it on 5 March 2002.

For him to be beatified one miracle needed to be investigated and approved; this miracle needed to be a healing that science and medicine were unable to explain. One such case was discovered and investigated in a diocesan process that lasted from 1993 until 1994 when all medical records and witness interrogatories were sent to the C.C.S. who validated the investigation on 10 February 1995. The medical panel of experts approved this miracle on 5 October 1995 as did their consulting theologians on 25 November 1995 and the C.C.S. themselves on 20 February 1996. John Paul II confirmed the healing to be a legitimate miracle on 25 June 1996 and presided over the beatification later on 4 May 1997. The second and final miracle needed for him to be raised to sainthood was discovered and investigated in 2003 before the documents were sent to Rome and before the C.C.S. validated the process on 14 November 2003.

His beatification and eventual canonization has been on the agenda of the Hungarian Catholic Church ever since communism fell in 1989, and the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI was seen by many analysts as an excellent opportunity, as the Pope had commented favourably on Mindszenty's calling and legacy. The cause for the cardinal's beatification opened on 15 June 1993; he became titled as a Servant of God after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints assented to introducing the cause in a decree "nihil obstat" (meaning no objections/impediments). The diocesan process (collecting his spiritual writings and collecting witness interrogatories to attest to his reputation for holiness) opened in Esztergom on 19 March 1994 and later closed on 17 October 1996; the C.C.S. validated the process (as having complied with their regulations) in Rome on 8 November 1999. In 2012 the Hungarian Bishops' Conference reaffirmed their support for continuing the late cardinal's cause for beatification.

The Supreme Court also stated: ::The question is not whether the response to the subpoena may be introduced into evidence at his criminal trial. That would surely be a prohibited "use" of the immunized act of production.... But the fact that the Government intends no such use of the act of production leaves open the separate question whether it has already made "derivative use" of the testimonial aspect of that act in obtaining the indictment against respondent and in preparing its case for trial. It clearly has. ::It is apparent from the text of the subpoena itself that the prosecutor needed respondent's assistance both to identify potential sources of information and to produce those sources.... Given the breadth of the description of the 11 categories of documents called for by the subpoena, the collection and production [by Webster Hubbell] of the materials demanded was tantamount to answering a series of interrogatories asking a witness [in this case, Webster Hubbell] to disclose the existence and location of particular documents fitting certain broad descriptions.

T. D. Sullivan presents an anecdote from 1876 that illustrates the distance that grew between O'Connor Power in his Home Rule days and some of his former radical nationalist colleagues: > An immense mass of people assembled in the Free Trade Hall [Manchester] on > the 16 September 1876, to hear a lecture from Mr. John O'Connor Power, MP, > on a non-political subject. The chair was taken by Mr. J. G. Biggar, MP. On > rising to introduce the lecturer, he soon discerned that trouble was > impending, that there was, so to say, "a storm in the offing." An "Advanced" > person, a Mr. Flesh of Ramsbottom, came on the Platform and informed him > that at a meeting of Nationalists held on the previous evening, it was > decided that the lecture might be allowed to proceed only on the condition > that the lecturer should first answer satisfactorily a series of questions > which had been drawn up for him. The main purpose of those interrogatories > was to ascertain whether he held and was prepared to support the principles > of Wolfe Tone, Lord Edward Fitzgerald, and Robert Emmet.

Rather, the witnesses would testify independently of each other before publication, then at the moment of publication, all would be revealed, and the parties would make their arguments to the Chancellor on that cold record. It is this procedure to which the United States Congress was referring in an 1802 law providing that "in all suits in equity, it shall be in the discretion of the court, upon the request of either party, to order the testimony of the witnesses therein to be taken by depositions." The next major development (which would remain a unique feature of American and Canadian discovery) occurred under the supervision of Chancellor James Kent of the New York Court of Chancery during the early 19th century. He was trying to respond to the obvious defect of traditional depositions: since parties could not adjust their questions on the fly, they had to propound broadly drawn interrogatories, and in turn elicited "long and complicated accounts" of the facts that were difficult for masters to summarize in writing.

The beatification process for the late religious opened in the Alessandria diocese in an informative process that investigated her life and reputation for holiness from 16 April 1953 until 25 September 1959; the beginning of the cause saw her named a Servant of God. Theologians assessed her writings and on 6 July 1963 signed a decree recognizing that Grillo's spiritual writings contained no doctrinal errors that would otherwise impede the beatification process. The second investigation - an apostolic process - was held from 1974 to 1976 to compile further information on Grillo's life which later allowed for the Congregation for the Causes of Saints on 20 October 1977 to issue a decree validating these processes as having complied with their regulations for conducting causes. The postulation later submitted the official Positio dossier in 1981 which was an accumulation of all documentation and witness interrogatories in relation to Grillo's life and reputation for holiness. Theologians confirmed the cause on 1 April 1985 as did the cardinal and bishop members comprising the C.C.S. on 4 June 1985.

The beatification process opened in the Diocese of Rome in a diocesan process that opened in December 1968 and concluded sometime later after having taken all of the available documents and interrogatories – this also included her spiritual journal. On 29 April 1994 she became a Servant of God – under Pope John Paul II – with the formal commencement of the cause following the Congregation for the Causes of Saints granting the "nihil obstat" ('nothing against') to the cause. The second process opened on 18 October 1999 and concluded on 1 June 2001 after which the C.C.S. validated the process on 1 March 2002. The postulation submitted the Positio in 2008 while theologians could not come up with conclusive approval the cause on 10 October 2013 after debating the extent of her mysticism and the depth of her spiritual writings with some aspects still requiring greater investigation; the theologians met again and provided their definitive approval to the cause on 29 November 2016. The C.C.S. approved her cause on 2 May 2017; Pope Francis confirmed her heroic virtue on 4 May 2017 and named her as Venerable.

The Mashpee filed suit on August 16, 1976 against a defendant class of land owners in the town of Mashpee. The United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts opted to hold separate trials, beginning with the issue of tribal status at the time of the suit and the time of the transactions. The Mashpee attempted to obtain a continuance so that the Department of the Interior could determine their tribal status instead, but the court denied their motion. The trial began on October 17, 1977. After forty days of trial, special interrogatories were submitted to the jury on January 4, 1978. The verdict was returned on January 6, finding that the Mashpee were a tribe on March 3, 1834 (when the District of Mashpee was established) and on March 3, 1843 (when the District of Mashpee was partitioned) but were not a tribe on July 22, 1790 (the day the first Nonintercourse Act was passed), June 22, 1869 (the date on which the state law restraints on alienation were removed by the legislature), May 28, 1870 (the date on which the town of Mashpee was incorporated), or when the suit was filed.

And give full power and commission to the earls of Argyle, Linlithgow, Perth, and Queensberry, treasurer-depute, register, advocate, justice-clerk, general Dalziel, Lord Collington, and Haddo, to call and examine the said persons in torture, upon the said interrogatories, and such other as they shall find pertinent upon the said heads, and report." The Lord Haltoun was preses of this committee, and the Duke of York and many others were present. The preses told Mr Spreul, that if he would not make a more ample confession than he had done, and sign it, he behoved to underly the torture. Mr Spreul said, "He had been very ingenuous before the council, and would go no further; that they could not subject him to torture according to law; but if they would go on, he protested that his torture was without, yea, against all law; that what was extorted from him under the torture, against himself or any others, he would resile from it, and it ought not to militate against him or any others; and yet he declared his hopes, God would not leave him so far as to accuse himself or others under the extremity of pain.

The beatification process commenced in both an informative and apostolic process in order to collect documentation and a range of witness interrogatories. Theologians collected his writings to assess if such writings were in line with the faith and approved them on 1 June 1968. The official start to the cause came on 6 March 1981 and Calabria was titled as a Servant of God. The two processes were later validated on 31 March 1984 in Rome and the Positio was sent a short time after in 1985 to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. Theologians approved the Positio on 8 October 1985 and the cardinal and bishop members of the C.C.S. did so as well on 10 December.
