The court held the written settlement (offer and acceptance) was binding and the settlement sum could lawfully be paid into the claimant's solicitors' client account; BNM Guidelines are non‑binding and do not displace the parties' agreed payment mechanism or established solicitor/client practice; accordingly the RM200,000 settlement was to be paid by insurers into the P.S. Ranjan & Co. client's account for the defendant/claimant, interest at 5% on RM200,000 was awarded from date of judgment to date of settlement, and costs were ordered against the plaintiff as quantified.
