Negotiated about broken plate (9)
I believe the answer is:
overleapt
'negotiated' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'about broken plate' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'over' (both can mean around).
'broken' is an anagram indicator.
'plate' with letters rearranged gives 'leapt'.
'over'+'leapt'='OVERLEAPT'

(Another definition for overleapt that I've seen is " Jumped across".)
