ITEM 6.09 | REQUESTS FOR ADMISSIONS (FEDERAL RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 36)
Under Rule 36 a party may serve on another partyrequests for admission of the genuineness (or truth) of documents or of facts or of the application of law to fact. The party served is obligated to make reasonable inquiry before responding. Failure to answer constitutes an admission. In the answer the party served may admit, deny, state that he or she lacks knowledge or information sufficient to permit admission or denial (only after making inquiry), or object to the request. An admission is for the purpose of the pending action only; but it is conclusive, rather than evidentiary, unless leave is obtained to withdraw or amend it. The post-trial sanction for improper failure to admit is payment of the requesting party's expenses of the proof of that fact. Additionally, the requesting party may seek pretrial judicial scrutiny of the sufficiency of answers or objections; the Court may also order an answer, amendments to answers given, or even that the matter be deemed admitted if the Court determines that there was improper failure to admit.
