Silverman at the Appellate Division (58 AD2d 147), except to *991note that the averments in the attorney’s affidavit are more properly admissible under the rule governing "informal judicial admissions” described in section 217 of Richardson on Evidence (10th ed) rather than the rule governing "formal judicial admissions” described by Richardson in section 216 of his treatise. Informal judicial admissions, as distinguished from formal judicial admissions, are not conclusive on the defendant in the litigation.
Concur: Chief Judge Breitel and Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg and Cooke.
