- HCA1327/2013
The 5 May 2025 letter amounted to a valid acceptance of the Sanctioned Offer under Order 22 rule 12 because acceptance occurs on service of notice; the procedural filing requirement in Order 22 rule 16 does not negate that acceptance; alleged misrepresentation or undue influence by a third party did not invalidate the acceptance as there was no agency or knowledge by HHCS; challenges to HHCS's authority and to champerty were without merit; accordingly the settlement was effective, the consolidation summonses were dismissed and costs were awarded to the respondents on an indemnity basis.
