SUBJECTS AND CASES COVERED BY THE WEBINAR

• Is it “unjust” for a party to bear the Part 36 consequences when an offer has only been beaten by a “whisker”?
• What are the consequences when a Part 36 offer is made to a number of defendants but the claimant only succeeds against one of them.
• Does a refusal to mediate have any impact on the Part 36 consequences.
• Should the Part 36 consequences follow when a claimant had effectively offered “nil” on a counterclaim.
• Part 36 and the assessment of costs. How could a party with an order for indemnity costs end up out of pocket.
• How relevant is a Part 36 offer that is withdrawn?
• What factors are considered when determining the rate of interest paid to a claimant who has beaten their own Part 36 offer.
• Can a party argue that an offer was not “clear” when it did not seek clarification?
• Is an offer of “two fields, three tractors and £20,000” an effective Part 36 offer?
• What is the impact of a Part 36 offer when a court is considering making an interim payment?
• Does a “change of mind” amount to a “change of circumstances” so that a party should be given permission to withdraw a Part 36 offer.
• Should interest be awarded on costs before those costs were actually incurred.
• Does an agreement on damages reached after a trial mean that Part 36 no longer occurs.
• Is there a difference between a “judgment” and an “order” for the purpose of Part 36.
• Can an offer on liability alone be effective if the matter proceeds to trial on all issues?
• Does a Part 36 offer oust the impact of fixed costs?
• How is the 21 days prior to trial calculated? Do judicial reading days count?
• Can a respondent to an appeal make a Part 36 offer for more than the case is worth? Is it effective.
