Admission Definition

(Lat. ad, to; mittere, to send). In Evidence. Concession or voluntary acknowledgment made by a party of the existence or truth of certain facts. As distinguished from a confession, the term is applied to civil transactions, and to matters of fact in criminal cases where there is no criminal intent. See “Confession.” As distinguished from consent, an admission may be said to be evidence furnished by the party’s own act of his consent at a previous period. Direct, called also “express,” admissions, are those which are made in direct terms. Implied admissions are those which result from some act or failure to act of the party. Incidental admissions are those made in some other connection, or involved in the admission of some other fact. See 1 Greenl. Ev. § 194. In Pleading. The acknowledgment or recognition by one party of the truth of some matter alleged by the opposite party. Partial admissions are those which are delivered in terms of uncertainty, mixed up with explanatory or qualifying circumstances. Plenary admissions are those which admit the truth of the matter without qualification, whether it be asserted as from information and belief, or as from actual knowledge. At Law. In all pleading in confession, an admission of the truth of the opposite party’s pleading is made. Express admissions may be made of matters of fact only. Of Attorneys. The act by which attorneys and counsellors become recognized as ofiicers of the court, and are allowed to practice. The qualifications required vary widely in the different states. In Corporations or Companies. The act of a corporation or company by which an individual acquires the rights of a member of such corporation or company. In trading and joint-stock corporations, no vote of admission is requisite; for any person who owns stock therein, either by original subscription or by conveyance, is in general entitled to, and cannot be refused, the rights and privileges of a member. 3 Mass. 364; Doug. 524; 1 Man. & R. 529.
