As someone who knows very little about anything, and have just read this entire saga from scratch, can I just say that the time spent by your client on this must have cost something more than £500. They offered £250? - in my experience you offer low and go for something in-between. Why not consider emailing them to say you are prepared to settle amicably out of court for £350? (or say £400 and accept £350) if only to see the back of this sorry mess.
For what it's worth Pete I support your case and think that dealing with anyone in the manner this company apparently has done appears immoral and inherently dishonest.
Don't reproach yourself - I kick myself daily for not saying something I thought of after the event.
All the best - Gareth
