What is the difference between a deposition and an interrogatory?

  1. Interrogatories are governed by court rules, and depositions are not

  2. Depositions are given under oath, and interrogatories are not

  3. Interrogatory (questions) are usually unlimited in number, and depositions are not

  4. Depositions consist of oral questions, and interrogatories are written

The correct answer is: Depositions consist of oral questions, and interrogatories are written

A deposition is a type of testimony where a witness is sworn in and asked oral questions by attorneys. This differs from an interrogatory, which is a type of discovery method where written questions are sent to a party in a case to be answered in writing. Option A is incorrect because both depositions and interrogatories are governed by court rules. Option B is incorrect because both depositions and interrogatories require some form of sworn statement. Option C is incorrect because the number of questions for both depositions and interrogatories are limited by court rules.
