FAQ
A joint, unapportioned offer of judgment is an offer that involves either multiple plaintiffs or multiple defendants (or both), issuing or receiving an offer of judgment. The general rule is that joint, unapportioned offers of judgment are invalid.
Nevada Rule of Civil Procedure (NRCP) 68, provides that any party may serve an offer of judgment at least 10 days before trial. 1 An offer not accepted within 10 days is deemed rejected and withdrawn.
Certain requirements apply to any party seeking to make a Rule 49 compliant offer, including: 1) the offer must be made at least 7 days before the commencement of the hearing; and 2) the offer cannot be withdrawn or expire before the commencement of the hearing.
The rule requires an offer of judgment to be made at least 15 days before the trial begins, and thus ensures that it must be either accepted or rejected at least 5 days before trial. Thus a party will not make final preparations for a trial which will never be held.
For example, if a defendant issues a written offer of judgment of $30,000 and the plaintiff chooses to let that offer lapse and to go to trial, the plaintiff must receive a judgment in excess of $30,000 to avoid having to pay the defendant's court costs.
The third sentence of Rule 68 has been altered to make clear that evidence of an unaccepted offer is admissible in a proceeding to determine the costs of the action but is not otherwise admissible.
? At any time more than 10 days before the trial begins, a party defending against a claim may serve upon the adverse party an offer to allow judgment to be taken against him for the money or property or to the effect specified in his offer, with costs then accrued.
