Good morning,
Gladstones have responded to the email I sent. they didn't respond to the request to adjourn but wrote:
further to the notice of allocation, and in an effort to resolve this matter without the need for further court time and costs, the claimant is prepared to make a settlement offer.
They are willing to accept £250 in full and final settlement of the claim provided payment is received by 4pm 6th July. This offer is made on the basis that, upon cleared receipt of the settlement sum, the claimant will take steps to vacate the hearing, with no further order as to costs save as agreed.
Should the offer not be accepted and the matter proceeds to a hearing, the claimant reserves the right to bring this correspondence to the courts attention on the issue of costs.
Please confirm by return whether the offer is accepted.
It would have been a lot nicer if they would just discontinue at this point. Then the matter could be resolved without further court time!
