Civil discovery: motion to compel further response.

Existing law authorizes the propounding party, upon receipt of a response to interrogatories, a demand for document production, or requests for admissions, to move for an order compelling a further response under specified circumstances. Unless notice of this motion is given within 45 days of the service of the response, or any supplemental response, or any later agreed-upon date, the propounding party waives any right to compel a further response. This bill would provide that the 45-day period from service of a response or supplemental response in which notice of a motion to compel further response to discovery or must occur, begins to run after the receipt of a verified response or supplemental verified response.
