A request to admit is a party’s formal written invitation to an opponent to admit specified facts or the authenticity of documents, to narrow the issues for trial and reduce costs. In practice, this is usually called a “notice to admit facts” or a “notice to admit documents/authenticity”. It is a procedural device used across civil litigation rather than a standalone statutory concept.Key features:- If the opponent admits, the fact or document need not be proved at trial, streamlining evidence and saving costs.- Unreasonable refusal to admit, where the point is later proved, can attract adverse costs orders.- Admissions are generally binding for the purposes of the proceedings, subject to the court’s discretion to permit withdrawal on terms.Jurisdictional usage:- England and Wales: governed by the Civil Procedure Rules (including CPR 32.18 for notices to admit facts and CPR 32.19 for document authenticity), with specified time limits before trial.- Scotland: Court of Session and Sheriff Court rules allow notices to admit facts or productions; admissions can limit proof and affect expenses.- Northern Ireland: similar mechanisms exist under the Rules of the Court of Judicature and County Court Rules.- Ireland: the Rules of the Superior Courts and Circuit Court Rules provide for notices to admit facts and documents, with comparable cost consequences.

Where a party applies for different issues in the same claim to be decided at separate trials, the court has the discretion to grant the application under its case management powers – though they must be exercised in accordance with the overriding objective. In practice the decision will largely turn on a pragmatic approach to the specific facts of each case. (Electrical Waste Recycling Group and Anor v Philips Electronics UK Limited and Ors)

Family analysis: The Court of Appeal has provided yet further guidance as to when parties should (and should not) seek clarification of a trial judge’s decision. This message must now be heard by practitioners and applied. Requests for clarification must be material to the key issues and decisions to be taken in the proceedings. Only if the clarification is material and proportionate should trial judges respond, and parties should not seek to relitigate or rehearse their cases. Requests should be justified by the party making them with reference to why clarification is necessary, and parties should make one request, jointly, to avoid the process becoming chaotic. This should avoid a situation where a trial judge’s response to requests for clarification actually obscure (rather than explain) the decisions that they have made. Chris Stevenson, barrister at 4PB, looks at the implications.
