PLEADINGS – Bindingness of Parties by Pleadings – Whether parties are bound by their pleadings; purpose of pleadings

” The pleading of counsel for a party is binding on the party in the suit in which it is delivered for the purposes of that suit, and serves to reduce the evidence which need be called on the facts in issue, and thus reduce the costs in the case; and the formal admissions which counsel makes must not be stretched beyond those purposes.”

Per VAHE ROBERT BAIRAMIAN, JSC in LEWIS V. MAJEKODUNMI (1966) LCER-409(SC) in LEWIS V. MAJEKODUNMI (1966) LCER-409(SC) (Pp 6 – 7, Paras E – A)
