Costs
Full Text
If a notice to admit or produce specifies documents which are not necessary, the costs occasioned thereby shall be borne by the party giving such notice.
Plain English Summary
Directs that a party serving notices to admit or produce that enumerate irrelevant or unnecessary documents must bear all occasioned costs.
Key Legal Elements
- Deterrent against Overbroad Notices: Prevents dragging adversaries into voluminous document reviews.
- Taxing of Costs: Court assesses unnecessary expenses at the time of final decree.
- Promotes Precision in Pre-Trial Practice: Limits notices to strictly essential evidentiary records.
Practical Note
Defending Against Vexatious Production Notices: If the plaintiff serves a notice under Rule 8 demanding 10 years of personal bank statements in a simple eviction suit, object in writing under Rule 9 and pray that costs of compliance and certification be awarded against the plaintiff.
