The New York Statement Pursuant To CPR Rule 5531 is a document filed by a party to a lawsuit in New York courts. It is generally used to admit or deny facts related to the lawsuit, and is filed in response to a Request for Admissions. The purpose of the document is to narrow down the issues in the case, and to avoid the need for lengthy and expensive trial proceedings. The Statement may be filed as a response to an individual Request for Admissions, or the party may file a single Statement in response to multiple Requests. There are two types of New York Statement Pursuant To CPR Rule 5531: one for admitting facts, and one for denying facts. Both versions of the document must be signed by the party or their attorney, and must be served on the other party.
