Notes
It was held in Claude Denbow v. The Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago and Ors. CV2005-00740 that an admission can be contained in any document, in response to a Notice to admit the whole or part of the case or in the pleadings. It was also held that an admission must speak to facts pertinent to the claim between parties to a cause or matter and, while it may be expressed or implied, the admission must be clear.
