Tyler v. Automotive Finance Company, Inc.
Annotate this Case
The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of plaintiff Automotive Finance Company, after defendant Paul Tyler failed to respond in a timely manner to a request for admissions. Defendant's argument on appeal was that he was not properly served with either the request for admissions or the following motion for summary judgment. The trial court entered an order deeming the unanswered request admitted. Based upon the evidence contained within the admissions, the court also granted Automotive Finance's motion for summary judgment. Well after the trial court entered a final judgment, Defendant filed a motion to amend his admissions, which the trial court denied. Defendant appealed both the order denying reconsideration of summary judgment and the order denying his post-finaljudgment motion to amend the admissions. Finding no error on the part of the trial court, the Supreme Court affirmed.
