2 later decisions quote this exact passage“If a party fails to admit the genuineness of any document or the truth of any matter as requested under § 15-6-36, and if the party requesting the admissions thereafter proves the genuineness of the document or the truth of the matter, the requesting party may apply to the court for an order requiring the other party to pay the reasonable expenses incurred in making that proof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. The court shall make the order unless it finds that: (A) The request was objectionable pursuant to § 15-6-36(a); or (B) The admission sought was of no substantial importance; or (C) The party failing to admit had reasonable ground to believe that the party might prevail on the matter; or (D) There was other good reason for the failure to admit.”
