P1183 Responses to interrogatories stating simply that defendants were unable to respond were neither answers nor objections, making them invalid; defendants' failure to appear at a hearing on a motion to compel response to interrogatories permitted the court to base its ruling on plaintiff's statement that responses served by defendant were untimely and deficient, making the resulting order valid even if the responses were timely and complete and justifying the granting of a subsequent motion for sanctions, for which there is no time limit.CitationSINAIKO v PACIFIC (Invalid Responses) 148 CA4 390 [See: CCP 2030.290, 2030.210, 2023.030; Scottsdale v Superior Court 59 263]
