Part 36 Offers

Useful Articles > Part 36 Offers (print this page )

An interesting case was reported recently where the Court had considered whether the rejection of a Part 36 offer meant that it could not subsequently be accepted. 

In Mr Roop Sampla and Ors -v- Rushmoor Borough Council and Mr Timothy Crowley the First Defendant made an Application for permission to accept a Part 36 offer (in respect of contribution) made by the Second Defendant  that it had previously rejected. 

The Court concluded that a Part 36 offer was not directly analogous to a contractual offer and that in principle a Part 36 offer could be accepted notwithstanding an earlier rejection. 

If you would like a word about this, or indeed about any costs issues, please do not hesitate to contact me.
