Which discovery tools are effective and any few or all are necessary to substantiate a claim? Can reduce the costs too.
In a federal civil trial, there are various persons (both parties and non-parties to the lawsuit) may be needed to answer discovery requests.
Does all the discovery tools have to be used? (like 1. interrogatories, 2,admissions, 3.production of documents, 4.depositions) or just steps 1,2,3 alone is enough since they produce enough evidence/supporting documents for the claim.
Assuming that the 1,2,3 can be given/prepared by the party receiving the request on their own without any intervention/supervision of any one (except the notary or authorized person).
But deposition will require a court reporter/attorney/venue etc?
1.2, 3 alone is enough of all the 4 is necessary?
