Part 36 offer?

[didyouseeit]

I am in the middle of an inheritance act 1975 claim, and my solicitor has advised a part 36 offer. Solicitor has set out suggestions and asked the defendant to agree these so that we can settle the claim. I have agreed to this but am still a bit hazy on the implications for costs and what this tactic is actually likely to do. They don't expect the other side to accept this but to make their own offer.

Is there a dummy's guide to part 36 offers?

Thank you. I assume the defendent will put forward their own Part 36 offer, which will be considerably less generous to me than my solicitors proposed offer.

What happens then? I'm quite happy to go for a lower percentage than what my solicitor has proposed and pay my own costs, but so far the defendents ridiculous childish mud slinging does not bode well for a favourable outcome.
