III.   Instruction

To Interrogate is to formally ask questions by rogation in accordance with valid sovereign authority to which answers are required to be provided.

The word Interrogate comes from the Latin word interrogare meaning “to ask, question” from inter meaning “between” and rogatio meaning “a solemn prayer and spiritual entreaty concerning an official question, inquiry, proposal, nomination or motion of law expressed through speech”.

Interrogatories are a set of formal questions memorialized from an Interrogation made by a sovereign or their duly appointed representative to an accused on the facts which are the object of the accusation to which the accused is obliged to answer or else their silence shall be affirmed ecclesiastically, legally and lawfully in the affirmative.

As failure to answer valid Interrogatories affirms ecclesiastically, legally and lawfully the questions in the affirmative, Interrogatories traditionally require the highest level of fair notice and due process, including but not limited to:

(i) Prior notice of the controversy, accusation or charge and the right to attend and defend, rebut the accusations; and

(ii) Evidence of service of any subsequent Interrogatories proving that a reasonable person would conclude the questions were presented to the accused; and

(iii) Sufficient time to enable the questions to be answered; and

(iv) Further notice and opportunity to cure.

No valid Interrogatories may be issued in opposition to these Canons of Astrum Iuris Divini Canonum or Articles of Pactum De Singularis Caelum or its associated charters and covenants or codes of law.
