Sec. 2700.58  Interrogatories, requests for admissions and requests 
for production of documents.

    (a) Interrogatories. Any party, without leave of the Judge, may 
serve written interrogatories upon another party. A party served with 
interrogatories shall answer each interrogatory separately and fully in 
writing under oath within 25 days of service unless the proponent of the 
interrogatories agrees to a longer time. The Judge may order a shorter 
or longer time period for responding. A party objecting to an 
interrogatory shall state the basis for the objection in its answer.
    (b) Requests for admissions. Any party, without leave of the Judge, 
may serve on another party a written request for admissions. A party 
served with a request for admissions shall respond to each request 
separately and fully in writing within 25 days of service, unless the 
party making the request agrees to a longer time. The Judge may order a 
shorter or longer time period for responding. A party objecting to a 
request for admissions shall state the basis for the objection in its 
response. Any matter admitted under this rule is conclusively 
established for the purpose of the pending proceeding unless the Judge, 
on motion, permits withdrawal or amendment of the admission.
    (c) Request for production, entry or inspection. Any party, without 
leave of the Judge, may serve on another party a written request to 
produce and permit inspection, copying or photocopying of designated 
documents or objects, or to permit a party or his agent to enter upon 
designated property to inspect and gather information. A party served 
with such a request shall respond in writing within 25 days of service 
unless the party making the request agrees to a longer time. The Judge 
may order a shorter or longer period for responding. A party objecting 
to a request for production, entry or inspection shall state the basis 
for the objection in its response.
