BSA Section 53 — Facts admitted need not be proved

Summary

No fact needs to be proved in any proceeding if the parties involved, or their agents, agree to admit it at the hearing, or if they agree to admit it in writing before the hearing, or if they are considered to have admitted it through their pleadings under the rules of pleading in force at that time.

However, the Court may, at its discretion, require that the facts which have been admitted be proved through other means, rather than relying solely on those admissions.

Official Text

No fact needs to be proved in any proceeding which the parties thereto or their agents agree to admit at the hearing, or which, before the hearing, they agree to admit by any writing under their hands, or which by any rule of pleading in force at the time they are deemed to have admitted by their pleadings:

Provided that the Court may, in its discretion, require the facts admitted to be proved otherwise than by such admissions.
