How the deadline works
Under Minn. R. Civ. P. 33.01(b), the answers and objections to interrogatories is due within 30 days after service of the interrogatories. A defendant may respond within 45 days after service of the summons and complaint. When the triggering paper is served by mail, Minn. R. Civ. P. 6.01(e) adds 3 days for service by U.S. mail. A deadline landing on a weekend or court holiday moves to the next business day.
