What is the required timeframe for a party to respond to a Request for Admission?

15 days
30 days
45 days
60 days

The correct answer is: 30 days

The required timeframe for a party to respond to a Request for Admission is 30 days. This timeframe is specified under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, particularly Rule 36, which governs Requests for Admission. When a party receives a Request for Admission, they must respond within 30 days of being served, unless a different time period is stipulated by the court or the parties agree to extend this timeframe. Since a Request for Admission is intended to streamline litigation by establishing certain facts as undisputed, a timely response is essential for maintaining the integrity of the process and ensuring that all parties are on the same page regarding the agreed-upon facts. Failure to respond within this 30-day period typically results in the matters contained in the request being deemed admitted, which can significantly impact the outcome of the case. This ensures that all parties have ample time to consider the admissions sought and to formulate their responses appropriately.
