Re: interrogatory

If you have a lawyer, you should ask your lawyer this question. If you're doing this pro se, you should really spend a few hours, if not more, in the law library to read on properly responding to interrogatories.

To make a very long answer short and foregoing the misuse of legal terminology, IN GENERAL, if you don't have the information in your possession, custody, or control and you can't obtain the information after doing a reasonable inquiry, you should state so in your answer.

However, more information is needed to determine the extent of the inquiry you should make to answer the interrogatory (written question).

This answer does not create an attorney-client information. This answer is based on the very limited information provided.
