Withdrawal of offer to make amends
16 Withdrawal of offer to make amends
An offer to make amends may be withdrawn before it is accepted, by notice in writing given to the aggrieved person.
A publisher who has withdrawn an offer to make amends may make a renewed offer.
A renewed offer may (but need not) be in the same terms as the withdrawn offer.
A renewed offer is to be treated as a new offer (including for the purposes of section 14).
However, the time limit specified in section 14 for the making of offers to make amends does not prevent the making of a renewed offer that is not in the same terms as the withdrawn offer if – the renewed offer represents a genuine attempt by the publisher to address matters of concern raised by the aggrieved person about the withdrawn offer; and the renewed offer is made within 14 days after the withdrawal of the withdrawn offer or any other period agreed by the publisher and the aggrieved person.
