Penske Truck Leasing (2001) 90 CA4th 494, 497-499, Unlike sanctions imposed as a penalty for the nine types of discovery misconduct itemized in Code of Civil Procedure section 2023.010, an award of costs of proof for a denial of a request for admission involves the weighing of a number of factors, such as whether the matter denied was of substantial importance; whether there was a reasonable basis for the denial; whether the party making the denial knew or should have known at the time that the requested matter was of substantial importance and was true; whether there were other good reasons for the denial;and whether and to what extent the responding party made a good faith effort otherwise to resolve the matter.
