FAQ
It can reduce Plaintiff's attorney's fees Thus, while the rejection of a more favorable offer of judgment does not preclude the recovery of attorney's fees by a prevailing FLSA plaintiff, it can nevertheless substantially reduce the amount of attorney's fees a court will award as reasonable.
Finally, a sometimes overlooked but extremely important feature of an Offer of Judgment is that, as the name suggests, the Offer becomes a judgment if accepted. Unlike a confidential settlement agreement, it is a public judgment, which could have consequences. It may be considered an admission of liability.
In most cases, if a settlement agreement is established in good faith with the parties' input, courts are reluctant to let a party withdraw from it. If the settlement agreement was created through deception or fraud, it might be revoked.
If the plaintiff either (1) declines the offer; or (2) fails to respond to the offer by the deadline, then the offer is considered withdrawn. A withdrawn offer does not preclude the defendant from making a subsequent offer.
If, within 14 days after being served, the opposing party serves written notice accepting the offer, either party may then file the offer and notice of acceptance, plus proof of service. The clerk must then enter judgment.
3d 1163, 1173 (D.N.M. 2020) (collecting cases holding that a “valid rule 68 offer allows judgment against the defendant, but such an offer does not require an admission of liability”); Simmons v. United Mortg.
Even when the offer is well crafted, the major disadvantage of a Rule 68 Offer remains the evident lack of privacy. Once the plaintiff accepts your Rule 68 Offer and a judgment is entered against you, that document is a public record available to anyone.
If, within 14 days after being served, the opposing party serves written notice accepting the offer, either party may then file the offer and notice of acceptance, plus proof of service. The clerk must then enter judgment.
If a defendant's offer of judgment expressly disclaims an admission of liability and the plaintiff accepts that offer, the Court's judgment does not constitute a finding of or an admission of liability against the defendant.
