The interrogatories as framed were relevant to the pleaded claims of institutionalised misfeasance and negligence, were not impermissible 'fishing' nor oppressive given the extensive prior inquiries and litigation, and therefore the defendants must answer the identified interrogatories within the time ordered; plaintiffs may allege institutional culture without having to identify every individual officer at pleading stage for the purposes of these interrogatories.
