Late Acceptance of a Part 36 Offer - Costs Consequences

Introduction

This virtual classroom session examines the likely outcomes with regard to the award of costs by the court following a late acceptance of a Part 36 Offer and a referral to the court to decide the issue of costs.

The session includes a practical case study for discussion in a question-and-answer session.

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive session will cover the following:

• Can the rule that the offeree pays the offeror’s costs under Part 36 ever be displaced?
• What do the rules say?
• What factors will be taken into account when deciding the issue of costs
• Will the court view a late acceptance as a purely tactical move to attempt to undermine Part 36?

Recording of live sessions: Soon after the Learn Live session has taken place you will be able to go back and access the recording - should you wish to revisit the material discussed.
