The Power of Part 36 in English Court Proceedings
In English civil litigation, Part 36 of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) is arguably the most potent tactical weapon available to litigators. A well-timed Part 36 offer applies substantial financial pressure to the opposing party by dramatically altering normal cost allocations.
If a claimant makes a Part 36 offer that the defendant rejects, and the claimant subsequently obtains a judgment at trial that is equal to or more advantageous than their offer, severe statutory consequences follow under CPR 36.17.
