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!

Requests for admission deemed admitted in California

by Stan Burman

Requests for admission deemed admitted in California are the topic of this blog post.

A motion for an order having the matters specified in requests for admission deemed admitted in California can be filed when a party has failed to respond to the requests for admission.

Law authorizing requests for admission deemed admitted in California.

The motion is filed under the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure section 2033.280(b) which states that if a party to whom requests for admission are directed fails to serve a response, the propounding party may move the court for an order establishing the truth of each matter specified in the requests for admission.  Section 2033.280 contains no time limit for a motion to compel where no responses have been served.

A motion to have the matters specified in requests for admission deemed admitted in California is also known as an order establishing the truth of each matter specified in the requests for admissions that were served on the other party.

The matters specified may be the truth of certain facts, or the genuineness of certain documents.

Requests for admissions are very useful in that they allow a party to get certain admissions or denials of issues relevant to the lawsuit on record before the trial, as well as authenticating certain documents.

If you can get an order establishing the truth of each matter specified in the requests for admissions that will greatly increase your chances of prevailing at trial.

And it is mandatory that the Court grant the motion unless code compliant responses are served before the hearing on the motion.

The court shall make this order unless it finds that the party to whom the request for admissions was served, before the hearing on the motion, served a proposed response to the Request for Admissions that is in substantial compliance with section 2033.220  See Code of Civil Procedure § 2033.280(b).

A California Court of Appeal has stated in a published case that there is no requirement for an informal meet and confer attempt before a party may bring a motion for an order establishing admissions.

Another California Court of Appeal has stated in a published case that there is not time limit on filing a motion to have the matters deemed admitted.

No separate statement is required when no response has been provided to the discovery. See California Rule of Court 3.1345(b).
