Can the defendants solicitor claim their sides costs if I discontinue my MCOL claim?

    Thank you for your further reply atticus.

    I did reply to your post #2 in my post #3.

    Since I originally issued proceedings using MCOL, this entire matter had ‘'developed'’ and become more involved, particularly after receiving the Defence from the defendants solicitor. Also that whilst I appreciated your suggestion about trying to negotiate a 'drop hands' settlement with no order for costs, there are specific reasons why I now believe that I may need to discontinue my current claim, which is the main reason why I asked about whether the defendants solicitor could claim their sides costs if I did if I did discontinue my claim. Those other specific reasons have since been advised in my subsequent posts, after your post #2.

    When you say '‘wait'’, based on everything that I have now advised, can you possibly expand on what you are suggesting I wait for?

      The thing for which you suggested you might wait, namely allocation.
