Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A party must make a reasonable inquiry to obtain the information needed to respond to a request for admission. If they still lack the information necessary to respond, they must state this in their response, explaining why the information is not readily known or accessible to them. Refusal without effort to obtain the information is not permissible.
