It is critical to respond to Requests for Admissions because failure to respond results in the requests being deemed admitted without the need for a motion to have the responses established as admitted.
When responding to Requests for Admissions, remember to answer as follows: Admit: If any portion of the Request for Admission is true then you must admit to that portion of the request. You are also allowed to have a hybrid response admit the part of the request that is true while denying another part.
