The status of admissions and pleading problems

Admissions may be a good way of controlling the scope of proceedings, but they have generated their own bank of case law, which is vital for litigators to understand, especially if the party then seeks to resile from them. In this webinar, Professor Dominic Regan will consider:

• Is a pre-action admission binding?
• Ambiguous admissions
• Varying an admission
• Judgment on a written admission
• When and how can a defendant resile?
• Can the court find on a ground never pleaded?
• Controlling pleadings after Baroness Lawrence v Associated Newspapers (2025)
