The "without prejudice" applies where there is a payment or apology for something , it neither confirms nor denies responsability .
This is done so that it cant be used as admission of guilt in a court of law if the other party accepts.
e.g. paying a speeding fine ,the points only start from the time one pays the fine , not the date of the offence , they see that as an admission of guilt.
