FAQ
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.
It means there is more than one question to the question. For instance, "Do you own a blue or black car?" is compound because it asks both whether you own a blue car or whether you own a black car.
You can object to an interrogatory if the information sought is known by the requesting party or available to both parties equally. For example, you should raise this objection if the answers are publicly available or in a third-party's custody or control.
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.
In a civil action, a request for admission is a discovery device that allows one party to request that another party admit or deny the truth of a statement under oath. If admitted, the statement is considered to be true for all purposes of the current trial.
In certain cases, you might be able to write a letter to the other side and request the documents that you need. However, in more formal cases, you will likely have to draft more formal discovery demands. There are usually forms available for this in local law libraries, from the court clerk's office, or online.
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.
A request for admission cannot contain subparts, or a compound, conjunctive, or disjunctive request.
Your answers to the interrogatories should usually be short, clear, and direct and should answer only the question that is being asked. This is not the time to set out your entire case or defense to the other side. Take the time to make sure your answers are correct and truthful.
