What options does a c have if the d denies liability in a pre action protocol?

[GISMO1989]

If a defendant denies liability in a personal injury ore action protocol, can the claimant respond to defend that they are liable, or do they have to submit a claim to court?

Hi and welcome

The aim of the preaction protocols is to give both sides a clear understanding of the problem so that attempts can be made to resolve the matter prior to issuing court proceedings.

So whilst there is no reason not to respond, it will be a bit pointless if all you are going to do is play letter tennis on a "you did" "i didn't" basis.

I understand, thanks. So assuming a defendant denies liability, what is the available actions the claimant can take?

Denies liability because ........... ?

Start the claim if you think you are correct.
