Home Insurance

Without Prejudice
Term used in discussion and correspondence. Where there is a dispute or negations for a settlement and terms are offered 'without prejudice', the offer so made or a letter so marked and subsequent correspondence cannot be admitted in evidence without the consent of both parties concerned. Or, a term used by an underwriter when paying a claim which he feels may not attach to the policy so as to ensure that the payment will not be treated as a precedent for future similar claims.
