Commercial and civil litigation - the withdrawal of an admission

13 November 2011

On 9th November 2011 the Court of Appeal held that a lower Court had not been wrong to find that a litigant could not withdraw an admission.

A party is permitted to withdraw an admission if it was found that the party had misdirected himself, taken irrelevant matters into account or not taken account of relevant matters.  The appeal Court found that unless the Court had made an error, it was inappropriate for the Appeal Court to interfere with the decision, even if they might have reached a different conclusion.
