Supreme Court Rules 2000

Subject to rule 228(2), an allegation of fact in a pleading which is not admitted or denied, either specifically or by implication, is taken to be admitted except as against a person under disability.

A fact is taken as being denied by implication only if the specific denial of the fact carries with it the denial of another fact.

A party who is pleading and intends to prove facts different from those pleaded by the opposite party must not merely deny or not admit those facts but must plead the facts intended to be proved.
