Re: M/Compel

If you fail to obey a request of the Court, such as attendance at a deposition or responding to interogotories, your adversary makes a request to the court to compel you to comply. The request is called a motion. If you dont comply after the Court has ordered you to so do, you could be subject to the contempt power of the court.
