Standrin v Yenton Minster Holmes Ltd: CA 28 Jun 1991

The parties had exchanged letters asserting an insurance claim. They had been marked without prejudice, and one party now objected to their admission in evidence.
Held: The letters did not have the protection sought. At the time they were written, there was no dispute between the parties, and therefore the letters could not be an attempt to settle a dispute.
