Legal Definitions - true admission

Definition: A statement or assertion made by a party to a case that acknowledges the truth of certain facts. It can be used as evidence against that party in court.

Examples:

• An accused person saying "I did it" is a true admission of guilt.
• A company representative saying "Yes, we knew the product was defective" is a true admission of liability.

These examples illustrate how a true admission can be used as evidence against a party in court. If a person admits to committing a crime or a company admits to being at fault, that admission can be used against them in a legal proceeding.
