In applying the test, all of the circumstances should be taken into account including: 1. That the admission has been made inadvertently, hastily, or without knowledge of the facts. 2. That the fact admitted was not within the knowledge of the party making the admission. 3. That the fact admitted is not true. 4. That the fact admitted is one of mixed fact and law. 5. That the withdrawal of the admission would not prejudice a party. 6. That there has been no delay in applying to withdraw the admission.
