PART 36: PRACTICAL LAW VIDEO SPECIAL

In this Issue there are links to two videos that I have recorded for Practical Law, together with the transcripts of those interviews.

The links to the videos are only available until Thursday, 2 May 2024, and I thank Practical Law for allowing me free use of those for that period.

Part 36 offers: Overview

In this video, I describe the purpose and benefits of making Part 36 offers to settle and outline the basic requirements when making such offers and explain the implications of Part 36 being a self-contained code.

I look at the consequences of accepting a Part 36 offer late and of not accepting a Part 36 offer at all.

This video is 10 minutes long and does not deal with fixed costs cases, which are in a separate video.

• Costs consequences if a claimant fails to beat a defendant’s Part 36 offer.
• Late acceptance by a defendant in a fixed recoverable costs case.
• Late acceptance by a claimant in a fixed recoverable costs case.
• Areas of uncertainty due to contradictory rules.
