Rule established
An admission made by a party, whether in pleadings or otherwise, if clear and unambiguous, can form the basis for a court to pass a decree, including summary judgment, without requiring a full trial on that admitted aspect; the object of allowing decrees based on admissions is to avoid unnecessary and protracted trials on matters no longer genuinely in dispute.
