CA
Weekly Law Notes Summary
28 June 2007
A defendant, who has made a mistaken admission that he had been the designer of a building in pre action protocol correspondence which he repeated in his defence filed in proceedings, could not withdraw the admission without the court’s permission. In considering whether to grant permission the court had to have regard to the question of any prejudice to either party arising from either the grant or refusal of such an application.
