The Calderbank letter did not exceed the amount of the judgment, was not explicit about pre-offer costs, and was intended as an all-or-nothing settlement to be litigated if not accepted; accordingly the offer was not a factor that reduced the solicitors' costs liability and the original costs order in favour of McEwan on a 2B basis with reasonable disbursements stands.
