Where an allegation is made against a person and it would not be natural in the circumstances to deny it, failure to deny the allegation would not be taken as an admission. But if a denial is what one would naturally expect, it is a strong evidence of an admission. In this case the failure of the defendant to deny in his reply to the allegation of non-repair of the vehicle amounted to an admission on the part of the defendant that the plaintiff’s vehicle had not been repaired. Bessela v Stern 37 L.T. 88 applied.
