Practice question
During the same case a party orally admits a fact on the record. Later the party denies having made the admission, but supplies only a preference to contest it, while the transcript clearly records it. What does Section4 require for that asserted ground?
- A showing that the imputed admission was not in fact made, not mere preference to retract
- A later denial automatically removes the admission
- Every oral statement is excluded categorically
- The opponent must always prove the admitted fact anew without qualification
- A change of lawyer erases all admissions
