The final orders in Suhr v Michelmore are a timely reminder of the importance of Calderbank letters in restrictive covenant cases, with the court ordering solicitor/client costs after an offer of compromise (in the form of a Calderbank letter) was made and rejected before the commencement of the merits hearing.

An informative paper on Calderbank offers and Offers of Compromise is attached, with thanks to my colleagues Daryl Williams SC and Andrew Downie.
