KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Part 36 Offers and Payments
Part 36 offers and payments are procedures under the Civil Procedure Rules designed to encourage parties to settle disputes before trial.
A Part 36 payment involves paying money into court after proceedings have started in relation to a monetary claim.
A Part 36 offer may be made either before proceedings begin or after proceedings commence, especially in nonmonetary disputes.
These procedures create financial pressure to settle because refusal of a reasonable offer can later affect the court’s decision on costs.
For example, if a claimant rejects a payment into court and later receives less at trial, the claimant may be ordered to pay costs incurred after the offer was made.
