judicial admission
Noun: - (Law) A formal concession: A "judicial admission" is a formal statement made by a party (or their attorney) in a legal proceeding, conceding that a specific fact is true. This concession is binding and removes the need for the opposing side to prove that fact in court. - (Law) A procedural agreement: It refers to an agreement between parties regarding facts or issues related to the case before the court, made to simplify the proceedings.
A judicial admission is used to streamline a trial by establishing agreed-upon facts, thereby avoiding unnecessary debate and delay. It is a crucial part of legal procedure. - The defendant's judicial admission that he was present at the scene simplified the prosecution's case. - Before the trial, both attorneys filed a judicial admission concerning the authenticity of the documents.
- Binding Nature: Once entered, a judicial admission is generally binding on the party who made it for the duration of the case. The party cannot later introduce evidence to contradict it.
- Formal Requirement: While often in writing, a judicial admission can also be made orally during a court proceeding if it becomes part of the official court record.
- Stipulation (n.): A common synonym in legal contexts. A "stipulation of fact" is essentially a judicial admission.
- The parties entered into a stipulation regarding the date of the contract.
- Concession (n.): A more general term for admitting something is true, which in a legal setting can constitute a judicial admission.
- Stipulation: An agreement or concession, especially regarding facts in a legal case.
- Concession: The act of admitting something is true or valid.

This term is highly specific to the field of law. In everyday language, one might simply "admit" or "concede" a point, but a judicial admission carries formal, procedural weight within the legal system.
