Requests For Admission: $211,032.50 In Costs-Of-Proof Sanctions Affirmed On Appeal

Trial Judge Did Not Err In Granting Sanctions For Central RFA Denials In The Case.

            In Nilson v. White, Case No. D077046 (4^th Dist., Div. 1 Sept. 16, 2021) (unpublished), plaintiffs lost a case where they sought to hold their attorneys responsible for a loss of a farming business through a nonjudicial foreclosure.  The trial judge also granted the winners $211,032.50 in RFA costs-of-proof sanctions.  The court of appeal affirmed because these were central RFAS which were not correctly denied and were apportioned out as far as awarding costs to the winning parties.
