Types of California Form Interrogatories
California courts recognize two categories of interrogatories. Form interrogatories, such as DISC-004, use a fixed set of Judicial Council-approved questions. Special interrogatories are custom questions written by the requesting party. For general unlimited civil cases, use Form Interrogatories DISC-001. For limited civil cases involving economic litigation, DISC-004 is the correct choice.
