Respond to Discovery

POST SETTLEMENT CASH ADVANCE FOR LAWSUITS
The world of law consists of language and procedures that only trained lawyers would understand. The litigation process begins with a pre-trial phase which contains the process of discovery. This article is a brief overview that will define discovery, specifically the response to discovery requests.

What Is Discovery?

Discovery is a step in the pre-trial phase that includes the investigation and collection of evidence. During this time, the plaintiff’s attorney dedicates an exorbitant amount of time to bring together all the facts required to formulate a strong case.
During this time the attorney may issue a discovery request from the opposing party. This would require them to respond with their side of the story, complete with evidence and documentation.

What Is Response To Discovery?

The party being sued will eventually receive a request for discovery, which will require a response. This is when the defendant or their attorney will gather the information they have and provide it for review to the plaintiff’s attorney. When served with a request for discovery, there are typically three ways to respond:
  1. Comply
    If the issue being raised or request is reasonable, you may find it appropriate to provide everything that is requested. 
  2. Object
    Sometimes the defendant does not agree with the lawsuit or may feel that the information requested is irrelevant to the case. At this point, they may be able to object to this request. However, this objection must be presented with valid points to the court. This objection will then be reviewed by the judge who will uphold or deny it.
  3. Ignore
    Ignoring a request for discovery is also a form of response. A lack of response will cause the other party to request the information again. If the requests continue to be ignored, the other party may take the issue to the judge. Typically, this response isn’t recommended as it can be seen as incompliant behavior which will result in a case loss.

Tips For How To Respond To Discovery

Responding to discovery is not an easy task. It requires a time commitment during which all the questions and requested data would have to be provided to the other party. Below are some general tips for how to respond to discovery requests.
  • Review Questions Being Asked
    Thoroughly read and review all that is being demanded in the discovery request. It isn’t wise to simply provide all the requested information without questioning it first. Are the demands relevant to the case? Will the information requested help settle the case? Will it overtly breach your privacy?  
  • Determine Response Deadline
    Upon your review of the case, take note of the deadline for the response. In order to be compliant with court proceedings, it is important to provide timely responses. Doing so will heighten your chances of winning the case.
  • Provide Required Documentation
    Once everything is reviewed and deemed appropriate, provide the required documentation. Go line by line to ensure that all the relevant information is included in your response.
