The applicant brought a motion to enforce a written offer to settle made by the respondent.
During a settlement meeting, the respondent orally stated the offer was 'no longer on the table', but the applicant subsequently accepted the offer in writing before the respondent withdrew it in writing.
The court held that under the Family Law Rules and contract law, an oral pronouncement cannot displace a written offer to settle.
The court found no clear injustice in enforcing the settlement and ordered that the offer to settle is enforceable.
