Settlement Before Trial

[Elley]

A friend settled on. A case before trial the other party has not yet signed the order if they don't what are her options

[themas]

Your earlier post refers to the other side getting counsel's advice. That could be just about the wording of the consent order (although it seems a bit unlikely they would want to spend money on counsel fees to do that) or - as PP said - because they haven't really agreed.

Whichever it is, if there is a trial date fixed your friend has no alternative but to act on the basis that there is no agreement until a signed consent order is provided. He/she must take their solicitor's advice - & get the solicitor to chase the other side & get clarification on what is happening.
