Section 101.620  Interrogatories

a)         Unless ordered otherwise by the hearing officer, a party may serve a maximum of 30 written interrogatories, including subparts, on any other party, no later than 35 days before hearing.

b)         Within 28 days after service thereof, the party to whom the interrogatory is directed must serve the answers and objections, if any, upon the party submitting the interrogatories. Each interrogatory must be answered separately and fully in writing under oath, unless it is objected to. Answers must be signed by the person making them and objections must be signed by the attorney making them or, in the event of an individual representing himself or herself, the individual making them.

c)         Grounds for an objection to an interrogatory must be stated with specificity, and be accompanied by a copy of the interrogatory.  Any ground that is not stated in a timely objection is waived unless it results in material prejudice or good cause for the delay shown.
