Failure to negotiate
Straker v Tudor Rose (a firm) [2007] EWCA Civ 368; SJ 4 May
(1) A defendant who has paid money into court cannot argue that if the claimant had been more reasonable he would have offered
more. A defendant has the remedy in his own hands where a claimant is being intransigent. He can pay into court the maximum
sum he was prepared to pay.
