Cases

McLaughlin & Ors v Newall

Comment

The judge took pains to make two general observations: (1) a defamation settlement which leaves open the wording of the apology will often be at risk of being found incomplete and unenforceable; (2) it will help to avoid disputes of this kind if, once the solicitors have reached agreement in principle in correspondence, they draft and sign a formal written contract or memorandum.
