Insurance paid out too much, Am I obliged to give it back?
After a solicitors firm managed to draw out a car insurance claim for 18 months I finally settled 50/50 on the incident, instead of refunding me 50% (£400) of my excess the solicitors paid me 100% (£800). I verbally informed them of the error before they issued the cheque and they still proceeded, now they have noticed the error they are asking for me to return the money. Am I legally obliged to do so and how far are they likely to pursue this if I do not?
Regrettably yes, I think they can claim it back as it's an error. That's unless they provided a receipt for you to sign with the figure "£800) and an acceptance "in full and final settlement" in which case they would find it difficult to sue for the return of the money.
You could however say that you have spent the money on the repairs and you need time to pay. Alternatively say you can pay, say, £200 immediately if they will accept that "in full and final settlement".

You are legally obliged to return the money but you may negotiate how long it takes you to do so. Providing that you are not intending to deprive the owner of the money, you can hand it back when it suits you.

Pay it back otherwise they might sue you, just not worth it

There is a very good chance they will ask for it back, really to avoid a 'dodgy' route I would get back in touch and give them the money back.
