“The general rule is that corporate officers or agents are personally liable for those torts which they personally commit, or which they inspire or participate in, even though performed in the name of an artificial body.... [T]o make an officer of a corporation liable for the negligence of the corporation there must have been upon his part such a breach of duty as contributed to, or helped to bring about, the injury; he must have been a participant in the wrongful act.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“parties do not obtain a great deal of satisfaction from them as a discovery device. Regularly the propounding party seeks to obtain more of an admission than that to which he is entitled and consequently the answer given is all but useless. The purpose of the rule is not to press known discovery requests.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“took judicial notice of copies of ... national building standards rather than the County Code itself, thereby making it difficult to determine whether and how the national building standards had been amended in their adoption by [the] County”
