O - Offers to settle
JORDAN v MGN LTD [2017] EWHC 1937 (Ch)
The claimant accepted the defendant’s CPR Part 36 offer on the eve of trial over 2 years after it was made. The claimant was ordered to pay the defendant’s costs on the indemnity basis since expiry of the relevant period for acceptance of the offer.
HAMMERSMATCH PROPERTIES (WELWYN) LTD v SAINT-GOBAIN CERAMICS & PLASTICS LTD [2013] EWHC 2227 (TCC)
Although the defendant’s Part 36 offer was nearly but not quite sufficient to beat the sum awarded to the claimant, that could not alter the costs consequences. Dicta to the contrary in Multiplex Construction (UK) Ltd v Cleveland Bridge UK Ltd (2008) should not be applied. But if a party unreasonably refused to negotiate, that could be taken into account under CPR r 44.2(4)(a).
SUTTON JIGSAW TRANSPORT LTD v CROYDON LONDON BOROUGH COUNCIL, QBD
A CPR Part 36 offer had not been accepted by letter to the offeror's address for acceptance before the offer had been withdrawn.
VIRGIN ATLANTIC AIRWAYS LTD v JET AIRWAYS (INDIA) LTD [2012] EWHC 3318 (Pat), [2013] 1 WLR 1005
A party cannot refer the court to part of a Part 36 offer without allowing the court to see other parts of the offer, even if those other parts relate to different proceedings. Privilege is waived in relation to the whole offer once the offer is brought to the court’s attention.
BEASLEY v ALEXANDER [2012] EWHC 2715 (QB), [2013] 1 WLR 762
Since by CPR r 36.13(2) the court cannot be told of a Part 36 offer until the case has been decided, where there is a split trial on liability and quantum, costs cannot be decided until quantum has been determined.
PHI GROUP LTD v ROBERT WEST CONSULTING LTD [2012] EWCA Civ 588
An offer which did not specify any period within which, if the offer was accepted, the defendant would be liable for the claimant's costs as required by CPR r.36.2(2)(c) is not a Part 36 offer.
