—INSTRUCTIONS—
A. The purpose of the case questionnaire is to help the parties settle their differences without spending a lot
of money. This is accomplished by exchanging information about the case early in the lawsuit. The
exchange of case questionnaires may be started only by a plaintiff (or cross-complainant) in a limited civil
case. The case questionnaire is optional, and if plaintiff (or cross-complainant) exercises the option, only
this form may be used.
B. Instructions for plaintiffs (and cross-complainants)
1. Under Code of Civil Procedure section 93, a plaintiff (or cross-complainant) may serve a completed
case questionnaire and a blank questionnaire with a complaint (or cross-complaint).
2. This is the only way you can require defendants (or cross-defendants) to serve you with a completed
case questionnaire.
C. Instructions for defendants (and cross-defendants)
1. If you have been served with a completed case questionnaire by a plaintiff (or cross-complainant),
then you must fill in the blank case questionnaire. Your completed case questionnaire must be served
on that same plaintiff (or cross-complainant) with your answer to the complaint (or cross-complaint).
2. THIS IS NOT AN ANSWER OR RESPONSE TO THE COMPLAINT.
D. Instructions for all parties
1. ALL QUESTIONS REFER TO THE INCIDENT OR AGREEMENT IN THIS LAWSUIT ONLY.
2. Answer each question. If a question is not applicable, answer “NA.”
3. Your answers are not limited to your personal knowledge, but you are required to furnish information
available to you or to anyone acting on your behalf, whether you are a plaintiff, defendant,
cross-complainant, or cross -defendant.
4. Type or legibly print your answer below each question. If you cannot completely answer a question in
the space provided on the case questionnaire, check the “attachment” box and put the number of the
question and the complete answer on an attached sheet of paper or form MC-025. You should not put
part of an answer on the case questionnaire and part on the attachment. You may put more than one
answer on each attached page.
5. When you have completed the case questionnaire, sign the verification and serve the original.
6. You may compel compliance with these requirements under Code of Civil Procedure section 93.
