Can documents used in settlement discussions be used as admission?

Can emails exchanged for settlement discussions be used as admission of liability?  I am unable to find any Judgement on this issue.

Unless and until they are a written documents towards settlement entered by both the parties, it may not be considered as evidence

Thank you Adv. Kalaiselvan.  If the settlement did not take place, can the emails be used as admission? In other words, is willingness to pay in a settlement the same as admission of liability?
