Does a deemed admission made by one defendant be admissible against the other defendants?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from OZ Merchandising Inc. v. Canadian Professional Soccer League Inc., 2021 ONCA 520 (CanLII):
The trial judge’s ruling that the deemed admissions by the other defendants would not be admissible against the respondents also rests on solid ground. An admission made by one party in a judicial proceeding is not admissible against other parties to that judicial proceeding: Correia v. Canac Kitchens, 2008 ONCA 506, at para. 110; R. v. C.(P.), 2015 ONCA 30, at paras. 39-45.
