Chan vs. BrandRep LLC

Plaintiff seeks to compel further responses to the Special Interrogatories, arguing that Defendant’s initial and supplemental responses contain waived objections and improperly rewrite, renumber, or reframe the interrogatories actually served.

Defendant failed to serve timely initial responses. Thus, any objections have been waived. (Code Civ. Proc., § 2030.290(a).) The fact that Defendant’s initial and supplemental responses contain objections alone warrants further responses.

Plaintiffs, Greg Weaver and Haig Youredjian (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) contend that Defendants were properly served with the summons by publication and that the entries of
