    I would give them a timescale within which you require them to reply, rather than leave it open ended. Also state that if they refuse the offer, or they do not reply by the date specified, you will continue with your claim.

    You might also want to consider whether or not this will be a "without prejudice" offer, but before using that term you need to be sure you understand what it means.

    Am I correct that a without prejudice offer would mean that this offer can not be shown in court?
    Would that mean that if Ipserv did take me to court to claim then I would not be able to show this letter to demonstrate their non-co-operation?

    Not too late to give them a time scale
  • Here's the changes I made;

    I am prepared to offer a without prejudice drop hands settlement in that if you withdraw your claim for PCN no ******, I am willing to withdraw my claim against your company.

    I am allowing 14 days for reply to this letter and if I do not hear within this timescale then I shall be continuing with my claim.

    I await your reply

    'WP - Save as to Costs' then should costs be discussed at the end of a hearing, you can bring your offer to the attention of the Judge. 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Yes, Umkomaas's suggestion is a better idea.

    Nope - 'Without Prejudice, Save as to Costs'. You need to be researching what these terms mean.

    Exactly. @Fruitcake even said that less than 3 hours ago.

    Am I understanding it correctly in that that would mean that if they agree i am saying that I can't then try to claim compensation in court other than for costs?
