ACT No. 9422026 Regular Session
HOUSE BILL NO. 226
BY REPRESENTATIVES ROBBY CARTER AND TAYLOR
1 AN ACT
2 To amend and reenact Code of Civil Procedure Article 1467(A) and to enact Code of Civil
3 Procedure Article 1467(C), relative to requests for admissions; to provide that a Rule
4 10.1 Conference in accordance with certain district court rules be held before a
5 request is deemed admitted; and to provide for related matters.
6 Be it enacted by the Legislature of Louisiana:
7 Section 1. Code of Civil Procedure Article 1467(A) is hereby amended and
8 reenacted and Code of Civil Procedure Article 1467(C) is hereby enacted to read as follows:
9 Art. 1467. Requests for admission; answers and objections
10 A. Each matter of which an admission is requested shall be separately set
11 forth. The matter is admitted unless, within thirty days after service of the request,
12 or within such shorter or longer time as the court may allow, the party to whom the
13 request is directed serves upon the party requesting the admission a written answer
14 or objection addressed to the matter, signed by the party or by his attorney. The
15 written answer or reasons for objection to each request for admission shall
16 immediately follow a restatement of the request for admission to which the answer
17 or objection is responding. If objection is made, the reasons therefor shall be stated.
18 The answer shall specifically deny the matter or set forth in detail the reasons why
19 the answering party cannot truthfully admit or deny the matter. A denial shall fairly
20 meet the substance of the requested admission, and when good faith requires that a
21 party qualify his answer or deny only a part of the matter of which an admission is
22 requested, he shall specify so much of it as is true and qualify or deny the remainder.
23 An answering party may not give lack of information or knowledge as a reason for
24 failure to admit or deny unless he states that he has made reasonable inquiry and that
25 the information known or readily obtainable by him is insufficient to enable him to
26 admit or deny. A party who considers that a matter of which an admission has been

1 requested presents a genuine issue for trial may not, on that ground alone, object to
2 the request; however, he may, subject to the provisions of Article 1472, deny the
3 matter or set forth reasons why he cannot admit or deny it.
4 * * *
5 C. Except for a default judgment, there shall be a "Rule 10.1 Certificate of
6 Conference" issued in accordance with Rule 10.1 under Title II of the Rules for Civil
7 Proceedings in District Courts of the Rules for Louisiana District Courts and Juvenile
8 Courts and Louisiana Family Law Proceedings before the court orders that a request
