Spanish term or phrase: prestar declaracion vs prestar confesion
Por el contexto entiendo que "prestar confesion" es "prestar declaracion" make statements or testify. Estoy en lo correcto?

facultades del presidente del directorio: para la presentacion en juicio actuara con las facutades establecidas en los articles 74 y75 del codigo procesal civil, estando expresamente facultado para convenir con la demanda, **prestar confesion**, reconocer documentos, exhibir, transigir, someter a arbitraje e desistirse.

Explanation:
Por si te sirve de ayuda, la diferencia entre prestar declaración y confesión es que la declaración en general la prestan los testigos, y la confesión las partes (por resumirlo de forma sencilla).

Creo que no hay palabra específica en inglés (confess sólo se aplica a causas penales), así que esa es mi sugerencia.
