Which action does a Motion to Compel specifically address?

The introduction of new evidence
The response to interrogatories
The scheduling of a deposition
The filing of an amicus brief

The correct answer is: The response to interrogatories

A Motion to Compel specifically addresses the need for a party to respond to interrogatories, which are formal sets of written questions required to be answered under oath during the discovery phase of litigation. When one party believes that the other has failed to answer these questions adequately or has neglected to respond altogether, they can file a Motion to Compel in order to seek a legal intervention that enforces compliance. This type of motion is essential in ensuring that all parties participate fully in the discovery process, as it aims to prevent any undue delays and to ensure that relevant information is shared in a timely manner. By compelling a response to interrogatories, the court helps maintain the integrity of the legal process and supports the fair resolution of disputes. The other options listed, while related to various procedural aspects of court proceedings, do not specifically pertain to the direct enforcement of question responses in this manner.
