Can you give us a little more information.

A 'drop hands' agreement usually means that you both walk away from legal proceedings with each party bearing their own legal costs.

Was this a Without Prejudice offer/agreement?

What has made you (or them) change your mind?

Were/are you the Claimant or Defendant?

What stage had legal proceedings reached before the agreement?

Re: drop hands agreement

this was a without prejudice offer
I changed my mind because of further scurrilous allegations against me in a letter sent with their acceptance
I was originally the claimant but they made a totally fictitious counter claim
proceedings are at a pre- court stage
