Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Harry Cohen (Labour). It was answered by Bridget Prentice (Labour) on Tuesday, 23 March 2010 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
Settlements out of Court
- Question
- How many court orders were not executed as a result of a settlement out of court in the most recent period for which figures are available.
- Answer
-
Settlements are primarily matters between the parties to the case. It is a matter, therefore, for the claimant to decide whether to accept an offer at any stage, including, in some cases, before court proceedings have been formally issued. Therefore, we do not hold figures centrally to reflect the number of court cases that end as a result of a settlement out of court.
