ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Who pays when the other side makes you prove the obvious? Miles Cooper and Corey Jollie explore how requests for admission can lock in crucial facts, expose weak positions, and narrow the issues heading to trial. Corey explains why their value starts with choosing the right facts to target early.
They cover California’s 35-request limit, the evidence a denial can reveal through Form Interrogatory 17.1, and how to turn qualified deposition answers into clear admissions. They also discuss authenticating documents found through independent research and writing meet-and-confer letters with the judge in mind.
An unreasonable denial can carry a financial consequence. Miles explains how the attorney time and expert costs spent proving a disputed matter may become part of a cost-of-proof claim, and why preparing for that possibility matters even when the issue resolves before trial.
