Part 36: Example of a claimant's offer to settle (with drafting notes)
<lang val="">A standard document that provides an example template for a claimant's offer to settle a claim under Part 36 of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR). This standard document can be adapted for use in civil litigation in England and Wales. It can be used as an offer to settle after proceedings have commenced or as a starting point for drafting a pre-action offer to settle a dispute. It sets out the essential components of a formal settlement offer, designed to put pressure on the defendant by leveraging the specific costs and interest consequences under the CPR. This resource includes integrated drafting notes that explain the purpose of key provisions, the strict procedural requirements that must be followed for an offer to be valid, and the potential tactical advantages of making a Part 36 offer. By exploring this standard document, legal professionals can gain practical insight into formulating an effective offer that complies with the rules, thereby maximising the claimant's position on costs should the matter proceed to trial and the offer not be accepted.</lang>
