IEA Section 19 — Admissions by persons whose position must be proved as against party to suit

Summary

Statements made by a person whose role or legal responsibility must be proven against someone in a lawsuit count as admissions. This applies if those statements would be relevant against that person in a lawsuit involving them, and if they were made while that person held that role or was under that responsibility.

Official Text

Statements made by persons whose position or liability, it is necessary to prove as against any party to the suit, are admissions, if such statements would be relevant as against such persons in relation to such position or liability in a suit brought by or against them, and if they are made whilst the person making them occupies such position or is subject to such liability.
