Practice Tip

Rule 36 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure requires that requests for admissions be responded to within 30 days. If they are not, they are deemed admitted. We all know this. However, do you have to bring these technically admitted requests to the court's attention (via a motion) to rely upon them? The answer is probably yes. See Tennessee Dept. of Human Servs. v. Barbee, 714 S.W.2d 263 (Tenn. 1986)
