In Robertson v. Sky Chefs, Inc., 344 Ill. App. 3d 196, 799 N.E. 2d 852, 279 Ill. Dec. 49 (1st Dist. 2003), the defendant filed and served a request to admit upon the plaintiff, seeking answers to 12 questions involving an alleged accident between the parties. The plaintiff failed to respond. The defendant then filed a motion for summary judgment asserting that due to the Rule 216 request to admit, all facts contained in that request must be deemed admitted, leaving no issue of material fact. 344 Ill. App. 3d at 198, 799 N.E. 2d at 854. The court found that plaintiff's admissions eliminated any basis for a finding of liability against the defendant. Consequently, the court affirmed the trial court's award of summary judgment. Id. at 202-03, 799 N.E. 2d at 858.
