Ok, hands up it is all my fault - but don't try and hold me to that - 2006 - Construction News (6965) 4 May 2006, 28(1) .
Examines the implications of the CA's decision in the personal injury case of "Sowerby v Charlton" ([2005] EWCA Civ 1610, unreported), where an admission by C before proceedings commenced that primary liability was admitted, was held by the CA not to be binding, on the basis that a party's case will not have been properly thought out until court documents are prepared. The result is that claimant's lawyers will now have to carry on investigating liability even when such an admission is made, thus running up unnecessary costs.
