The defendants had made a Part 36 offer before the commencement of the proceedings and soon after the commencement had paid pounds 9,000 into court under Part 36. The judge awarded over pounds 11,000 and pounds 2,000 of accrued interest. Despite beating the payment in the claimant was only given costs limited to pre-action costs and no costs thereafter.
Held: The claimant’s appeal was allowed and he was awarded 60% of his costs. Waller LJ did not gain much assistance from the authorities cited to him, save in so far as they laid down clear principles and urged that it was to the rules that one should go.
