Important Change to our 30-day Money Back Guarantee ************************************** Due to the increasing allegations of fraudulent purchase transactions involving documents specifically designated for the purposes of litigation in eviction and/or unlawful detainer proceedings, we have been forced into choosing whether to continue offering such documents at all to ANYONE, or to declare that they are NON-REFUNDABLE, and are no longer covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee. ************************************** Consequently we have decided that as of March 16, 2024 at 1:00 am, PDT any single document specifically listed in the Eviction Defense Collection is hereby NON-REFUNDABLE. To determine if one or more of your proposed documents are NON-REFUNDABLE you will need to review the list of single documents found within the description for the Eviction Defense Collection. ************************************** In the meantime, we will be updating the individual file listings for all such affected documents. ************************************** HOWEVER, YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED!

Admission requests in Bankruptcy Court

by Stan Burman

Admission requests in Bankruptcy Court are the topic of this blog post.

Admission requests in United States Bankruptcy Court are used in adversary proceedings.

Discovery is permitted in adversary proceedings in Bankruptcy Courts pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (FRBP).

Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 7036 states that Rule 36 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is applicable in adversary proceedings.

Types of admission requests in Bankruptcy Court.

Admission requests in United States Bankruptcy Court consist of two types.

The first is requests for what is known as truth of facts which are requests that the opposing party admit or deny the truth of certain material facts.

The second is requests for what is known as genuineness of documents which are requests that the opposing party admit that the original of a document for which a copy is attached is genuine.

The scope of discovery under FRCP Rule 26(b) is very broad. "Parties may obtain discovery regarding any nonprivileged matter that is relevant to any party's claim or defense - including the existence, description, nature, custody, condition, and location of any documents or other tangible things and the identity and location of persons who know of any discoverable matter. For good cause, the court may order discovery of any matter relevant to the subject matter involved in the action. Relevant information need not be admissible at the trial if the discovery appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence."

The responding party must serve its answers and any objections within 30 days after being served with the requests for admission.  If a matter is not admitted, the answer must specifically deny it or state in detail why the answering party cannot truthfully admit or deny it.  A denial must fairly respond to the substance of the matter; and when good faith requires that a party qualify an answer or deny only a part of a matter, the answer must specify the part admitted and qualify or deny the rest.

The answering party may assert lack of knowledge or information as a reason for failing to admit or deny only if the party states that it has made reasonable inquiry and that the information it knows or can readily obtain is insufficient to enable it to admit or deny.

The grounds for objecting to a request for admission must be stated. A party must not object solely on the ground that the request presents a genuine issue for trial.

The person who makes the answers must sign them, and the attorney who objects must sign any objections.
