Monique Bouffé’s article ‘Just or Unjust? Late acceptance of an early part 36 Offer’ published in the Partners in Costs Magazine

Outer Temples Monique Bouffé wrote an article on the late acceptance of a Part 36 offer and how this impacted the case of MRA v The Education Fellowship Limited (2022). Monique worked alongside James Counsell KC, also of Outer Temple, on this case for the claimant.

The magazine was distributed at the AvMA Annual Clinical Negligence Conference in March 2023, proudly sponsored by Outer Temple Chambers. The event, attended by clinical negligence specialists, provided an update on all the key issues, developments and policies in the clinical negligence and medical law.

Monique’s article looks at perhaps the most interesting costs decision of 2022 in the case of MRA v The Education Fellowship Limited (2022), concerning late acceptance of a part 36 offer, and where the meaning of “Unjust” in the CPR Rule 36.13 was fought ardently between the parties.
