128 Withdrawal of offer to make amends
(1) An offer to make amends may be withdrawn before it is accepted by
notice in writing given to the aggrieved person.
(2) A publisher who has withdrawn an offer to make amends may make
a renewed offer.
(3) A renewed offer may (but need not) be in the same terms as the
withdrawn offer.
(4) A renewed offer is to be treated as a new offer (including for the
purposes of section 126).
(5) However, the time limit specified in section 126 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that is not in the same terms as the withdrawn offer if—
(a) 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about the withdrawn offer; and
(b) 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of the withdrawn offer or any other period agreed by the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.
