LouisianaCourts would need a conference certificate before deeming admissions
In Louisiana civil cases, courts would need a Rule 10.1 conference certificate before treating unanswered requests for admission as admitted, except in default-judgment cases.
What it does
Before a court could deem a request for admission admitted, the requesting and responding sides would need a Rule 10.1 conference certificate, except in default-judgment cases.
Argument forA required conference certificate could give the parties a chance to resolve or clarify disputed requests before admissions become binding.
Argument againstRequiring a conference certificate could add a step and delay a court’s decision about whether unanswered requests are admitted.
More detail
A court would need a Rule 10.1 Certificate of Conference before ordering that a request for admission is deemed admitted. This applies to requests for admission in civil cases, except when the court is entering a default judgment. The certificate must be issued under Rule 10.1 of the Louisiana district court rules. The text does not state that a court must hold a particular type of conference beyond requiring the certificate. The certificate would be required before the court orders that the request is deemed admitted.
