Answer: an admission in court
Step-by-step explanation:
An admission is a statement that is made when an individual admits that some facts are true before a trial begins. An admission is quite different from a confession.
In Dawg Stop's suit against Condiment Vendor, Inc., Dawg serves a written request for Condiment to admit the truth of matters relating to the trial. Condiment's admission in response is the equivalent of an admission in court.
