Description
This is an original proceeding in prohibition. Our preliminary writ prohibited the respondent circuit Judge from compelling the relator to answer twenty interrogatories put to him by his former wife concerning his financial affairs. The parties have now briefed and argued the case. The issue concerns the relative rights of the interrogator and the respondent in discovery procedures. The area of permissible interrogatories is bounded by Civil Rules 57.01(b) and 56.01(a), V.A.M.R. Rule 57.01(b) says, ""It is not ground for objection that the will be inadmissible at the trial if the sought appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence."" But this broad area is restricted by Rule 56.01(a), which says, ""The number of interrogatories or of sets of interrogatories to be served is not limited except as Justice requires to protect the party from annoyance, undue expense, embarrassment, or oppression."" These boundaries frame the issue here.
