In responding to an attorney request, I thought the end product, while not perfect, was worthy of sharing with our readers, especially the lawyers and paralegals. Hat tip to Dan Hanecek who wrote most of it.

In compliance with Code of Civil Procedure Section 2033.220, each response to the requests for admission shall:

(a)                          Admit so much of the matter involved in the requests as is true;

(b)                         Deny so much of the matter involved in the requests as is untrue; and

(c)                          Specify so much of the matter involved in the request as to the truth of which the responding party lacks sufficient information and knowledge.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that if the RESPONDING PARTY fails to serve a timely response to these REQUESTS FOR ADMISSIONS, the RESPONDING PARTY thereby waives any objections to these requests, including objections based on privilege or on the protection of work product pursuant to Civ. Code Proc. §2018.

PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that in the event the RESPONDING PARTY fails to serve a timely response to these REQUESTS FOR ADMISSIONS, this PROPOUNDING PARTY reserves the right to move the Court for an order deeming all facts set forth herein admitted.

PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that if the RESPONDING PARTY fails to admit the truth of any matter when requested to do so under this section, and if the PROPOUNDING PARTY thereafter proves the truth of that matter, the PROPOUNDING PARTY may move the court for an order requiring the RESPONDING PARTY to pay the reasonable expenses incurred in making that proof, including reasonable attorneys fees.

If any of these requests for admissions cannot be fully answered, please answer to the extent possible, specifying the reasons for your inability to answer the remainder, and set forth any information, knowledge or belief you have concerning the unanswered portions.
