Cases

Bowman v MGN Ltd

Comment

Any claimant rejecting a settlement offer, even one that is not made in accordance with Part 36 (as was the case with the offers here), runs the risk that a court will decide he ought to have accepted the offer and will order him to pay costs.

In determining the date from which C should bear the costs, the significance of the acceptance of the offer of amends appears to have been that from that date the compensation to be awarded would be likely to be subject to a discount.
