It's possible, but most unlikely, that the case will settle at that hearing. If the case settles it will be either in a round-table meeting or as a result of offers and counter-offers made in correspondence. As to your question, it is not in the interests of the defendant to pay out more than the claim is worth, or on a claim that they think they may win. The claimant, unless there is an offer he/she is prepared to accept, does not have the option of settling the case. Most claims settle, some don't - this one may not.
