2021 Montana Code Annotated|Title 25. Civil Procedure|Chapter 4. Pleadings, Motions, and Other Papers|Part 6. Procedure After Claims Partially Admitted|25-4-601. Procedure when answer admits part of plaintiff's claim

  25-4-601. Procedure when answer admits part of plaintiff's claim. When the answer of the defendant, expressly or by not denying, admits a part of the plaintiff's claim to be just, the court, upon the plaintiff's motion, may, in its discretion, order that the action be severed, that a judgment be entered for the plaintiff for the part admitted, and, if the plaintiff elects, that the action be continued with like effect with regard to the subsequent proceedings as if it had been originally brought for the remainder of the claim. The order must prescribe the time and manner of the plaintiff's election. If the plaintiff elects to continue the action, the plaintiff's right to costs upon the judgment is the same as if it were taken in an action brought for only that part of the claim. If the plaintiff does not elect to continue the action, costs must be awarded as upon final judgment in any other case.   History: En. Sec. 702, C. Civ. Proc. 1895; re-en. Sec. 6552, Rev.

  25-7-105. Offer of settlement. (1) (a) At any time more than 60 days after service of the complaint and more than 30 days before a trial in district court begins, a party may serve upon the adverse party a written offer to settle a claim for the money or property or to the effect specified in the offer.  (b) At any time after commencement of an action and more than 10 days before a trial in a court of limited jurisdiction begins, a party may serve upon the adverse party a written offer to settle a claim for the money or property or to the effect specified in the offer.   (c) If within 10 days after the service of the offer, the adverse party serves written notice that the offer is accepted, either party may then file the offer and notice of acceptance together with proof of service of the offer and notice of acceptance with the clerk of court and the court shall enter judgment. An offer not accepted is considered withdrawn and evidence of the offer is not admissible except in a proceeding to determine costs. If the final judgment is less favorable to the offeree than the offer, the offeree shall pay the costs incurred by the offeror after the offer was made. The fact that an offer is made but not accepted does not preclude a subsequent offer.

The offer has the same effect as an offer before trial, and the applicable provisions of subsection (1) apply if the offer is served within a reasonable time not less than 10 days prior to the commencement of a hearing to determine the amount or extent of liability.   (3) For the purposes of this section, costs include reasonable attorney fees.
