requests for admission

Requests for admission are formal questions one party sends to another during a legal case, asking them to admit or deny specific facts or the validity of certain documents. These requests help clarify the issues in dispute, reducing the need to prove uncontested facts at trial. The recipient must respond within a set time frame, either admitting, denying, or explaining why they cannot admit or deny the statement. This process streamlines the litigation, focusing on the true contested points and making the legal process more efficient.
