If they settled out of court for such a substantial sum, there would have certainly been a silence clause in the settlement. Which you've just breached...

Are you sure? £2k may be a substantial sum to the OP, but it's peanuts to his opponents.

In the context of the type of case, the actual losses the OP incurred, and their actual liability, it's a massive payout...

Not really when you consider op paid £800 amendment fee amongst other court fees.

No, because if something is settled out of court, regardless of what tier of the court it was due to have been heard in, then as the court doesn't get to pass a judgement there is no case law or precedent set.

So much for the OP's altruistic motive - " I thought if I won my day in Court, all of these other people would be able to recover their costs." That clearly went out of the window when two grand in compo was waved in his face.

if everyone else the OP was concerned about went through the same process wouldnt they settle out of court for everyone or let it go the distance
