Ticonderoga Farms, LLC v. William Knop, et. al., 97 Va. Cir. 479

Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-A property owner's amended answers to an LLC's requests for admission constituted specific denials because the distinction between "right" and "permission" was significant in the context of the requested admissions and warranted the owner's denial where the owner was simply declaring that, while he allowed the LLC to plant, care for, and harvest trees, and install an irrigation system on the property, he did not give it legally enforceable title or binding claim of right to do so; [2]-The owner's responses to two interrogatories were sufficient because he answered that there was no formal agreement between the parties, provided the date permission was given, that it was never withdrawn, that he did not grant the LLC any rights or privileges, and that, after the LLC abandoned activities on the property, he instructed it not to enter the property without written permission.
