Cut out & keep the latest on costs with NLJ columnist Dominic Regan’s costs crammer. 

Part 2 in this special series looks at Part 36 offers. Regan, professor at City Law School, addresses questions such as: how high can I pitch my offer to settle? Am I under a duty to flag up defects in an offer? How do I make my offer compliant and therefore effective?

Regan’s informative article cuts to the chase on the most pertinent issues, including ‘breaching the 95% threshold’, and is illustrated with relevant caselaw. See Part 2 of the Costs Crammer here.
