Supreme Court of Missouri
en banc
June 1, 2021
Effective December 1, 2021
In re:
Correction of order of March 2, 2021, repealing and adopting subdivision 57.01, entitled "Interrogatories to Parties," of Rule 57, entitled "Interrogatories and Depositions."
ORDER
1. By order of March 2, 2021, this Court adopted a new subdivision 57.01 of Rule 57. The Court hereby corrects subdivision 57.01(a) of Rule 57.01 by correcting a typographical error. As corrected, subdivision 57.01(a) shall read as follows:
57.01 INTERROGATORIES TO PARTIES
(a) Scope. Unless otherwise stipulated, ordered by the court, or approved by local rule pursuant to Rule 56.01(b)(8), any party may serve upon any other party no more than 25 written interrogatories, including all discrete subparts. Interrogatories may relate to any matter that can be inquired into under Rule 56.01. An interrogatory otherwise proper is not necessarily objectionable merely because an answer to the interrogatory involves an opinion or contention that relates to fact or the application of law to fact, but the court may order that such an interrogatory need not be answered until after designated discovery has been completed or until a pretrial conference or other later time.

2. It is ordered that notice of this order be published in the Journal of The Missouri Bar.
3. It is ordered that this order be published in the South Western Reporter.
