Narrow Country lane road accident. 

Client’s own insurers urged her to settle on basis that both drivers were equally at fault.  Other side also offered to settle on a 50/50 basis.  Client made a Part 36 Civil Procedure Rules Offer to settle liability at 90/10 in client’s favour.  Defendant’s insurers accepted that offer, our client conceding 10% to facilitate settlement (it isn’t a valid Part 36 Offer if you offer to settle for 100%.  It needs to be at least 95% as the law currently stands).
