Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0180-06-.18 - ADMISSION OF FACTS AND OF GENUINENESS OF DOCUMENTS
(1) After commencement of a contested case a
party may serve upon any other party a written request for the admission by the
latter of the genuineness of any relevant documents described in and exhibited
with the request or of the truth of any relevant matters of fact set forth in
the request. Copies of the document shall be served with the request unless
copies have already been furnished. Each of the matters of which an admission
is requested shall be deemed admitted unless within a period designated in the
request, not less than fifteen (15) days after service thereof or within such
shorter or longer time as the Commissioner may allow on motion and notice, the
party to whom the request is directed serves upon the party requesting the
admission either (1) a sworn statement denying specifically the matters of
which an admission is requested or setting forth in detail the reason why he
cannot truthfully admit or deny those matters or
(2) written objections on the ground that
some or all of the requested admissions are privileged or irrelevant or that
the request is otherwise improper in whole or part, together with a notice of
hearing the objections at the earliest practicable time. If written objections
to a part of the request are made, the remainder of the request shall be
answered within the period designated in the request. A denial shall fairly
meet the substance of the requested admission, and when good faith requires
that a party deny only a part or a qualification of a matter of which an
admission is requested, he shall specify so much of it as is true and deny only
the remainder.
(2) Any admission
made by a party pursuant to such request is for the purpose of the pending
action only and neither constitutes an admission by him for any other purpose
nor may be used against him in any other proceeding.
