Bill > HB226

This bill amends Louisiana's Code of Civil Procedure concerning requests for admissions, which are formal written questions sent to an opposing party in a lawsuit asking them to admit or deny specific facts or the authenticity of documents. The bill clarifies that a party must respond to each request for admission by either admitting, denying, or explaining why they cannot admit or deny the matter, and that any objection must state the reasons for the objection. Crucially, the bill introduces a new provision requiring a "contradictory hearing" before a request for admission can be considered automatically admitted, meaning both sides will have an opportunity to present their arguments to the court on the matter.
