A: The Form Interrogatories have 50 sections and each section has multiple questions within each section. I didn't count them all up because quite often they all are checked. You only have to answer the ones that are checked and I don't think I have ever seen a case where every single section was checked. I'm not sure why you are asking but I hope that shed a little light on your question.

A: You are permitted to ask an unlimited number of Form Interrogatories. Special Interrogatories are limited to 35 UNLESS you provide a required affidavit stating why additional interrogatories are warranted. See Code of Civil Procedure section 2030.050.
