2. Sometimes the discovery process does not run smoothly. For example, a party may
not answer interrogatories by the deadline. If a party does not cooperate, what can the
other party do? Please discuss how a party can compel compliance.
If you and the client conclude that more time is required, your supervising attorney
will have to ask for an extension of that time period. There are times when the other party
does not cooperate. The motion to compel can help this situation. Your attorney will be
required to connect with the other attorney and try to resolve any problem. However, if they
cannot come to an agreement, you may be asked to draft a motion to compel. [1]
Generally, the moving party must file a written motion with the court and mail it to
the other party. The other party will have a certain amount of time to file a written response,
as set forth in the rules. If a party does not answer interrogatories by the deadline, the other
party has a few options:
Send a final request to the plaintiff, giving them another 30 days to give
answers to the interrogatory requests.
Ask the court to order the other party to respond.
If the responding party does not serve its answers and any objections within 30 days
after being served with the interrogatories, the other party can ask the court to order them to
respond. [2]
