St.James Place v Dixon-Nutt
St James's Place Wealth Management Plc v Dixon-Nutt [2023] EWHC 1431 (Comm)
Key Principle
The without prejudice rule attaches only to communications negotiating and seeking to compromise a genuinely disputed liability; it does not extend to a discussion concerned only with how an admitted liability is to be paid, because there is then no extant dispute capable of being compromised.
