Account stated
Account stated, An account stated is the admission of a balance due from one party to another, and that balance being due there is a debt; the statement of the account and the admission of the balance implies a promise in law to pay it; see Irving v. Veitch, (1837) 3 M&W 106. The account must have been stated before action brought. An account stated, however, creates only a prima facie liability, which may be rebutted by disputing the debts charged in the account, as, for instance, by proving mistake (among other ordinary defences); Camillo Tank Steamship Co. v. Alexandria Engineering Works, (1921) 38 TLR 134. For statutory power to re-open an account stated, see MONEY LENDERS ACT. By the Infants Relief Act, 1874 (37 & 38 Vict. c. 62), s. 1, an account stated with an infant is void.The expression 'account stated' has more than one meaning. It sometimes means a claim to payment made by one party and admitted by the other to be correct. There is, however, a second kind of account stated ...

Acknowledgment of debt or liability
Acknowledgment of debt or liability, is an admission that a debt is due or that some claim or liability is still in existence, so as to prevent the operation of the Statute of Limitations. The precise form of acknowledgment necessary in any particular case depends on the terms of the relevant statute. An acknowledgment or part payment after the statutory period will not revive a barred claim to land under s. 34 of the (English) Real Property Limitation Act, 1833 (3 & 4 Will. 4, c. 27), Kibble v. Fairhorne, (1895) 1 Ch 219, but an acknowledgment at anytime before action brought will revive actions, on debt grounded on simple contract, if in writing under 9 Geo. 4, c. 14, and for money charged on land under s. 40 of the Real Property Limitation Act, 1833: see re Clifden, Annaly v. Agar Ellis, 1900 (1) Ch 774. See LIMITATIONS, STATUTE OF....
