Resiling from Admission of Liability

Sollitt v D J Broady Ltd (CA, CLW 5 June)

Where solicitors made an admission of liability after the commencement of proceedings they had ostensible authority to make such an admission, further their client would not be allowed to resile from it where there had been serious prejudice to the claimant because of his reliance upon the admissions made as a result of which he did not avail himself of the opportunity to ascertain the true situation and to protect his interests accordingly.
