Standard Interrogatories
Under Supreme Court Rule 213(j)
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
Under Supreme Court Rule 213(j), "[t]he Supreme Court, by administrative order, may
approve standard forms of interrogatories for different classes of cases." The committee

encouraged to utilize interrogatories approved by the Supreme Court pursuant to paragraph

or an objection to each interrogatory, with proof service upon all other parties entitled to
notice. *** The answering party shall set forth in full each interrogatory being answered

truthfulness of his or her answers, these standard interrogatories include sample attestation
clauses.

Finally, under Supreme Court Rule 213(i), a party has a duty to seasonably supplement or
amend any prior answer or response whenever new or additional information subsequently
becomes known to that party. The proponent of the interrogatories may wish to include a
