The High Court considered whether a separated issue of liability in a motor vehicle collision matter had been settled between the parties on 3 February 2026. It found that the plaintiff’s email did not correspond with the first defendant’s offer in all material respects and that no compromise was reached. The court ordered that the separated issue of liability was not settled on that date and awarded costs against the plaintiff.
This may be relevant to civil litigation and settlement disputes involving offer and acceptance, costs, and procedural steps in the High Court.
