An admission too far –

August 8, 2018

This request for admission – “Admit or deny that Defendant’s negligence was the sole proximate cause of the incident forming the basis of this lawsuit” – did not involve an issue of fact, or the application of law to fact. It was thus improper and did not raise a fact issue to overcome a summary judgment motion. Arana v. Figueroa, No. 05-17-00368-CV (July 30, 2018) (mem. op.)
