Um, the claimant had to pay the defendant's costs after the offer had expired. That means the claimant's solicitors did not receiving any costs for preparing for trial. I thought you had read the judgment?

I had a claimant Part 36 offer accepted about 15 minutes before a trial was to start once. Any number of cases resolve at the door of the court - that's litigation for you.

Rayner, you don't know how clin neg cases work. You also suggest that the decision is a solicitor's to make, when cases are brought by claimants.

Go do the work because I reckon you'll make a huge success of it, what with your very early admissions and inappropriate but cheap "experts". And when Registrars and GPs refuse to accept instructions on matters beyond their expertise, do please tell them they're doing it all wrong.
