Understanding Requests for Admission
Hi, my name is Aaron Grubb. I’m the Tahlequah attorney at Wirth Law Office. In this video, we’re going to talk about requests for admission.
Definition and Purpose
A request for admission is exactly what it sounds like—one party asks the other party to admit to a specific fact. It’s part of the discovery process in a legal case.
For example, a request might be: “I want you to admit that on [specific date], you left the kids home alone without supervision, and that your actions directly led to the house burning down.”
Or: “I want you to admit that you’ve been secretly sending thousands of dollars to a girlfriend through cash or Venmo.”
Strategic Use in Legal Cases
These requests can help pin the other party to a specific position. They’re a way to narrow down the issues in a case and can be used to highlight inconsistencies. If someone denies a request, and you have strong evidence showing otherwise, you can later argue that their denial was made in bad faith.
If you’re dealing with the discovery process or have a pending civil or criminal case, please contact us here at Wirth Law Office. We’re here to help.
