"...CPR 27.2(1)(g) states that part 36 simply does not apply to a Small Claim, and CPR 27.14(3) provides that of itself, failing to beat a Calderbank offer or other settlement proposal will not automatically result in an order for assessed costs. .."

I appreciate this and that there are other aspects of the CPR that are specifically excluded from the SCT, but .. but ... Calder banks and Without Prejudice Offers always meant the relaxation.

What mechanism is used by a busy DJ (DDJ) to decide whether the no order rule should be relaxed (Clohessey does not make this clear unfortunately).
