I’m self representing in financial remedy, judge has said

“Both parties shall, serve their respective replies to the others questionnaire and request for further information, save for just exceptions, if arising”

I understand the above paragraph apart from there but that says “save for just exceptions, if arising” Please could someone tell me in layman terms what that actually means.

Many thanks

As a matter of common sense - it means you are not obliged to answer questions if, by so doing, you would be in breach of the law.

I would agree. Sometimes questions are specifically excluded by the judge at FDA and the questionnaires amended accordingly. Bear in mind that inferences may be drawn from questions that are not answered if there is no good reason why they should not be.

If necessary you can draw up a schedule of deficiencies listing the missing responses and documents and ask the judge to order that these should be addressed.

Oh, ok great thank you. I did decide that that statement wasn’t applicable to me in the end. As I was more than happy to answer all of his silly questions.
