    If a party makes a compensatory offer to an injured party but claims no liabilty in making this offer but does so through a third party can this be instrued as an admission of liability, because the offer was made through a third party and not to the injured party directly??

    An ex gratia payment without any admission of liability. However, it may be foolish to make such a payment without legal advice.

    The answer is pretty much in the question - an offer made without admission of liability is just that.

    understood, but my point was if an offer was verbally made to the injured party it could be withdrawn and denied. If the offer was made known to a third party they would therefore be witness to an offer and would this be an admission of liability???

    An offer without admission of liability is always that.
