Admissions of Liability - Key Tactics Explored for Claimant PI Lawyers

Introduction

This webinar will explore admissions of liability in personal injury cases, including key tactical considerations such as when to press for an admission against pushing forward with proceedings, and how to respond when a defendant attempts to resile from an earlier admission.

This webinar will also consider the definition and types of admissions (express, implied, partial), timings and formalities under the Civil Procedure Rules, why an admission can be a turning point in the case and using admissions to streamline the litigation.

It will closely examine attempts to withdraw or resile from an admission, including the grounds and procedure for withdrawal under CPR Part 14, case law examples, and how to oppose or challenge an opponent’s attempt to withdraw.

This webinar is suitable for anyone who acts on behalf of claimants in personal injury cases.
