You must not attempt to deal with the matter on your own by admitting or accepting liability or settling a claim. Liability can be conceded orally or in writing, or in some cases by conduct on receipt of a claim, and therefore once a claim or threat of a claim has been received you should not have any contact with the person or organisation bringing or threatening action without first speaking to Legal Services. Any further contact received should be sent directly to Legal Services.
