R. 4:22-2 New Jersey Rules of Court, R. 4:22-2: Effect of Admission, rendered as code with every cross-reference linked
Effect of Admission
Any matter admitted under this rule is conclusively established unless the court on motion permits withdrawal or amendment of the admission. Subject to the provisions of R. 4:25-1 governing amendment of a pretrial order, the court may permit withdrawal or amendment when the presentation of the merits of the action will be subserved thereby and the party who obtained the admission fails to satisfy the court that withdrawal or amendment will be prejudicial to maintaining the action or defense on the merits. Any admission made by a party under this rule is for the purpose of the pending action only and is not an admission for any other purpose nor may it be used against that party in any other proceeding.
Note: Source-R.R. 4:26-2. Former rule deleted and new R. 4:22-2 adopted July 14, 1972 to be effective September 5, 1972; amended July 13, 1994 to be effective September 1, 1994
