Discovery form: Request for Inspection of Premises.
 In every negligence liability case of any kind you have to inspect the
premises. In every fire case you have to inspect the premises.
In business contract or real property cases you often want to inspect
the premises.
A battle-tested demand for inspection of the premises is a
time-saving addition to your legal tool kit.
What Request to Inspect Premises does
for you:
- The Request to Inspect Premises is
a well-drafted demand for inspection of premises that will save you
arguments at the entrance to the premises, and position you well for
an motion to the court regarding your admittance or quibbling by
adverse counsel.
- The Request to Inspect Premises
combines the demand for inspection of premises with a demand for
production of those evidentiary physical items that you, your
client, and your expert witness should see and inspect in situ.
It also suggests items, just as a senior mentor would
do, when you are drafting a demand to inspect physical items on your
adversary's grounds.
- The Request to Inspect Premises
saves you time. Pull the form up on your computer. Insert the
case name and make any changes needed for your case. Five
minutes and you are done. Time saved. "Found time" for
you to use for other purposes than grunt work doing a first draft.
You save multiple times the cost of buying this form.
The Request to Inspect Premises is a
very low investment with a high value return.
Our Request to
Inspect Premises is to be used when you want to get on the real
estate premises occupied or controlled by an adverse party. This form,
applicable to most cases, gets you what your want to get (evidence and
better prepared lay and expert witnesses). This form saves you drafting time, and avoids leaving out items that
experienced litigation attorneys include in their demands to inspect real
property (e.g., specifying your inspection party size, or demanding that
equipment be available or be operated during your inspection).
Whether you are the plaintiff for the defendant attorney you have the
same needs. You need your own photos of the place to put into evidence. You need to see the place
yourself. Your expert has to inspect the place. Your client needs to
see the place and refresh his/her memory (which is best done with you there to hear and see what the client
says about the premises and to tell you that the other side has changed the premises).
If those premises are in the control of the adverse party in the
lawsuit, you have to serve a Request for Inspection of Premises on the
adverse attorney. It may be a physical necessity for you to get
permission. More importantly, if to get evidence, you, your expert, or your client trespassed on
the adverse party's property without proper authorization, you run a
risk of evidence exclusion rulings by the court.
Federal Rule 34, and like state rules, allow you to serve a request "
to permit entry onto designated land or other property possessed or
controlled by the responding party, so that the requesting party may
inspect, measure, survey, photograph, test, or sample the property or any
designated object or operation on it."
Even if the other side is willing to give you an chance to inspect
the premises without serving a formal discovery request, you still need
a form to serve as a checklist of what you want to include in an letter
agreement for you to do that. Few things embarrass you more than
arriving with your client and and expert only to have the other side
refuse you admission on some pretext, or on some state statement such as
"we didn't agree you could take photos" or "we did not agree you could
bring an expert!"
It just makes good business sense for you to
have a well drafted legal form ready to use as a basis for completing your
own formal discovery request or your own informal letter agreement. This will prevent
omissions that prevent a complete inspection (e.g., failure to ask to
have machinery produced or operated, or failure to demand that your
inspection party include additional persons than yourself.)

No form for premises cases can cover every possible situation you might
have. But a legal form is a checklist to remind you - what you as a
lawyer need to consider and need to include in your final document.
For example, our Rule 34 form
includes a paragraph that demands that --- at the time of the premises
inspection --- the adverse party
also have available for you and your expert other items that will make
you and your expert more effective. (E.g., any photos of the premises
taken before the fire, the floor waxing machines used the day before the
plaintiff fell, the pipe value lockout devices that were available but not
used by managers, sample cans of the type of roofing materials used on the
roof by the industrial landlord before the present lessee fixed the roof
about which your client, a former lessee, has a contract dispute, etcetera.)
It's a simple technique that many lawyers overlook. You won't
overlook it, because you get reminded when you use our form. Then
you can make a conscious decision to either modify it for your situation
or take it out. But you won't forget to think about using this technique
which can create powerful testimony and exhibits by your expert or
witnesses!
