The situation
Policyholders suffered water damage traced to work performed by a plumbing and heating company. The loss included rebuilding, flooring and emergency mitigation costs, supported by an inspection report and photographs.
Our approach
Precision Paralegal Services ran a corporate search on the plumbing company, filed a civil claim and arranged personal service on the corporate defendant.
When the matter reached document exchange, we prepared a formal List of Documents. We weighed the stage of the litigation and the costs of continuing against the settlement offered before recommending acceptance.
The parties agreed to settle for less than the amount originally claimed. We confirmed the settlement cheque, obtained a signed release and filed a Notice of Withdrawal.
The outcome
A partial recovery was received, the release was signed and the court file was formally withdrawn.
What this case illustrates
The settlement decision balanced the amount offered against the cost of continuing the litigation. In this matter, accepting a partial recovery brought the dispute to an agreed close with payment and formal withdrawal of the court action.
