Defendant receiving a claimant's Part 36 offer—checklist

Defendant receiving a claimant's Part 36 offer—checklist This checklist on receiving a Part 36 offer identifies the key factors that a defendant should consider on receipt of a claimant’s Part 36 offer. Consideration Guidance Further information Relevant period The defendant should calculate the date when the relevant period expires for accepting the claimant’s Part 36 offer, which must be no less than 21 days from when the Part 36 offer was served (CPR 36.5(1)(c)).It is important to note this date because there may be costs consequences for late acceptance of the claimant’s Part 36 offer. There will also be costs consequences if the claimant’s Part 36 offer is not accepted and the claimant obtains a judgment that is at least as advantageous as their own Part 36 offer (CPR 36.17(1)(b)). For further information, see Practice Notes: Part 36 offers—how to make a valid Part 36 offer—The relevant period (minimum 21 days) and Part 36 offers—costs consequences of rejection or non-acceptance—Costs consequences—defendant not accepting a claimant's Part 36 offer.
