No.2 Answer to Interrogatories

What this form is for

• • Use when you have been served with written interrogatories in a civil case.
• • Do not use for witness statements – those require Form No.1.
• • If the court orders a different format, follow the specific instruction instead.
• • For criminal matters, a different answer form is required.
• • When the parties agree to a joint answer, each party still files its own Form No.2.
