Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

After a valid amendment, a pleader claims every prior admission has become impossible to use because the former pleading was superseded. The adversary instead claims the old admission remains automatically conclusive as a current judicial admission. Which is best under Section8?
  1. Both positions are necessarily correct
  2. Prior statements are erased from history
  3. Supersession prevents every evidentiary use
  4. Prior admissions may be offered in evidence against the pleader; supersession does not itself establish either claimed absolute effect
  5. The amended pleading is automatically void
