    Reply to/reject a ‘without prejudice’ offer made in full and as final settlement

    Reply to/reject a ‘without prejudice’ offer made in full and as final settlement

    It is a personal matter that is why the compensation is small and we feel taking advice from a lawyer may make things unnecessarily expensive in this case. We were told however that the landlord's insurance would not cover this as it's a subcontractor's fault.

    How to obtain cafe/restaurant premises only (not the business)

    I'm not taking over the business. I want the owner to exercise his break out clause and close down. I don't want their staff.

    How to obtain cafe/restaurant premises only (not the business)

    Yes, my numbers would be different, but I wanted to see if the numbers posted sound reasonable for a cafe in town centre with a seating of 60. If the numbers are OK this is also an indication that hopefully as a restaurant we'd be making more. I asked the agent what their breakdown was on the...
