The summons was dismissed because answers to interrogatories are not pleadings and therefore cannot be the subject of further and better particulars unless the court first orders those answers to stand as pleadings; the defendants failed to follow proper procedure to obtain further interrogatories (no proposed interrogatories served with the summons) and cannot convert requests for particulars into interrogatories or use them to obtain discovery of documents.
