The April 2020 letter, properly construed in its litigation context and against the defendant's prior March offer and known facts (including the value of the Flat), was ambiguous and did not constitute an unconditional surrender of the plaintiff's proprietary claim; the defendant's purported acceptance did not produce meeting of minds (ad idem) and no binding settlement agreement was formed, so the strike-out order was wrong and the defendant's strike-out summons must be dismissed; costs were apportioned as set out by the court.
