Appeal against an order dismissing the claimants’ application to strike out certain paragraphs of the defence. The grounds of the application were that those paragraphs pleaded statements made without prejudice in a mediation between the parties which were therefore inadmissible. It was and remains common ground that, unless falling within an exception to the without prejudice principle, the statements were inadmissible.
