    There is a part in the claim form from county court that says !!!8220;agree part of the debt!!!8221;, I don!!!8217;t know if there!!!8217;s enough legal arguments in defence for the keeper to risk losing the case and having to pay big sums as opposed to possibly being able to settle for a reduced offer?
    No. That section is not for offers!

    That is so that if the defendant does agree the claimant is owed a certain sum then the case will only continue on the sum the claimant disputes.


    (eg were the claim to be for £1000 of goods not paid for, and the defendant has withheld payment on £600 because £400 worth were damaged, then defendant agrees the £600 is owed and disputes the £400)


    It's not for making an offer!

    This logic makes sense, does that also mean that even after the court even if the defendant loses the case the sum may be less than that of £930? Since I fail to see any good legal reasoning to win the case. And since the keeper has received the county court claim form, is going to court inevitable?

    Yes. You challenge all costs you don't agree.

    (That is a different issue to making an offer)
