520			_aLT 3 August 2000. Involved compensation for the compulsory acquisition of a piece of land, and an easement for the construction and maintenance of a viaduct. Negotiations took place between 1988 and 1990, but no agreement was reached. Talks resumed in 1992. The Council (A) offered £28,000, and the claimant company (B) sought £40,000. In May 1993, under instruction from a director, B's surveyor wrote to A accepting the £28,000 offered, and this was confirmed in writing by A on 2 August 1993. Considered two key issues: firstly, whether the correspondence represented a binding contract for compensation at £28,000; and secondly if there was no contract, whether the claim was statute barred under S9 of the Limitation Act 1980 (para 57). LT ruled in favour of A on both issues.
