Full Text

Statements made by persons to whom a party to the suit has expressly referred for information in reference to a matter in dispute are admissions.

Illustration.
The question is, whether a horse sold by A to B is sound. A says to B—“Go and ask C, C knows all about it”. C's statement is an admission.

Plain English Summary

Treats a third party's statement as an admission if a party refers to them for info.

Key Legal Elements
