This decision illuminates several considerations for lawyers regarding the strategic use of Requests to Admit (RTA). Firstly, the court indicates that RTAs should be employed judiciously, adding significant value to the case without being overly repetitive and should aim to clarify the issues at dispute throughout the various stages of the litigation. Secondly, the court notes that if response deadlines for RTAs are missed, one must successfully plead inadvertence to withdraw the admission, according to Rule 51.05 . The court also reaffirms the criteria for withdrawing admissions under this rule.
