A:
When you need to serve a notice to a consumer in the context of a legal case, it’s important to make sure that the phrasing is clear and complies with the applicable laws. In California, if you're seeking responses to interrogatories from a non-party without their appearance, you'll want to ensure the notice includes key information like the legal authority under which you're acting and the specific requests being made.
You can begin by stating that, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 2020.010, you are requesting specific information or documentation from the non-party. Be clear that their responses are needed for the case but that their physical appearance is not required. This will help the person understand their role in the process and reduce any unnecessary concerns.
Ensure you provide a clear deadline for them to respond and offer guidance on how to submit the requested information. If they have questions or concerns, encourage them to contact you for clarification. This helps maintain open communication and ensures that the process is as smooth as possible for everyone involved.
