As noted earlier, the respondent made an initial and comprehensive settlement offer on April 16, 2014. A revised settlement offer was made on May 21, 2014, about 2 ½ weeks before the commencement of the trial. Relying on Arsenovski v. Bodin, 2014 BCSC 199 at para. 15, the claimant argues that the April offer was revoked by the offer made in May. In relation to the May settlement offer, the claimant argues that it did not comply with Rule 11-1(1)(c)(iii). She acknowledges that while correspondence enclosed with the second offer to settle included the language mandated by the subrule, the offer itself did not. She argues that this language must be included in the offer and that it is not sufficient that it be recited in correspondence that attaches to the offer to settle.
