RULE 4005. NUMBER OF INTERROGATORIES

Interrogatories to a party, as a matter of right, shall not exceed forty (40) in

number. Interrogatories inquiring as to the names and locations of witnesses, or the

existence, location and custodian of documents or physical evidence each shall be

construed as one (1) interrogatory. All other interrogatories, including subdivisions of

one numbered interrogatory, shall be construed as separate interrogatories. If counsel

for a party believes that more than forty (40) interrogatories are necessary, he shall

consult with opposing counsel promptly and attempt to reach a written stipulation as to a

reasonable number of additional interrogatories. Counsel are expected to comply with

this requirement in good faith. In the event a written stipulation cannot be agreed upon,

the party seeking to submit additional interrogatories shall file a motion with the court

showing the necessity for relief.
