FAQ
Similar to responses to Requests for Production, responses to Requests for Admissions do not have to be verified. It is critical to respond to Requests for Admissions because failure to respond results in the requests being deemed admitted without the need for a motion to have the responses established as admitted.
If you admit the request, write admit for your response. If you deny the request, write deny. If you have to qualify an answer or deny only a part, you must specify the part that is true and deny the rest.
When responding to Requests for Admissions, remember to answer as follows: Admit: If any portion of the Request for Admission is true then you must admit to that portion of the request. You are also allowed to have a hybrid response admit the part of the request that is true while denying another part.
Requests for admission constitute discovery. They are different from other discovery devices because they are NOT designed to elicit evidence or further the goals of discovery. Even though requests to admit are discovery devices, not all discovery rules apply.
Proper Objections A responding party has four options: (1) admit; (2) deny; (3) admit in part and deny in part; or (4) explain why the party is unable to answer. It is possible to object to all or part of a request as well, but courts do not like parties who play word games to avoid responding.
Each request must be numbered consecutively. The first paragraph immediately shall state he identity of the party requesting the admissions, the set number, and the identity of the responding party. Each request shall be separately set forth and identified by letter or number. C.C.P.
