Judgment on:
(i) an application brought by the defendant to resile from admissions made prior to the commencement of proceedings and
(ii) An application brought by the claimant to enter judgement upon those admissions (which is contingent upon the outcome of the defendant’s application)
The claim is for damages for serious injuries sustained by the (now) 68 year old claimant when he tripped and fell on an uneven pavement in a residential street maintained by the defendant highway authority. The pavement had become uneven because of raised tree roots which had grown through the surface pushing up the slabs.
