Without Prejudice

[webberg]

So if the law was overturned I could claim the monies back ?

No.

A settlement is a contract.

You agree to pay. HMRC agrees to accept that it is equal to your liability.

Once signed, ALL other subsequent actions, including a change of law, become irrelevant.

That's a non-sequitur. It doesn't follow from "without prejudice"

No.

If you settle and case goes to Court and gets a "better" decision than settlement, you cannot benefit.

If the Court decision is "worse", you cannot be disadvantaged.

"Without prejudice" means that if you choose not to settle, then all other legal options are open to HMRC and the fact that they have offered you a settlement does not "prejudice" the arguments that they may wish to advance.

Hi,

I have my settlement letter and at the top it states 'without prejudice'

Does this mean that if I stump up the cash, that should this ever be defeated, I can't go for a ppi style compensation claim ?

Thanks
