Supreme Court Rules 1987

(1) On an application for directions the Court may take steps with a view to securing that the parties make all admissions and all agreements as to the conduct of the proceeding which ought reasonably to be made by them and may, by order, record an admission or agreement so made.

(2) The Court may, by order, record a refusal to make an admission or an agreement as to the conduct of the proceeding so that the refusal may later, if the Court thinks fit, be taken into account on a question of costs.
