Can answers be sent by mail?
A:
You're asking whether SUBP-020 can be used without requiring a personal appearance, and if written answers can be sent by mail. SUBP-020 is typically used in California to compel someone to appear in person at a deposition and possibly bring documents or other items. If you're seeking written answers instead of a personal appearance, this form might not be the appropriate one to use.
To obtain written responses, you might consider using interrogatories or requests for admission, which are formal sets of questions sent directly to the other party involved in the case. These methods allow you to receive written answers without requiring the person to appear in person. The responses are usually exchanged through mail or electronic means, following specific procedures outlined in the California Code of Civil Procedure.
It would be helpful to review the court's guidelines or consult a legal professional to ensure you're using the correct forms and following the proper procedures. This can help you avoid any delays or issues in your case. Understanding the appropriate methods for obtaining information can make the legal process smoother for you.
