Part 36 Offer means an offer to settle the Claim made in accordance with Part 36 of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998. “Reasonable Fees” Shall mean those fees that are reasonably claimed in all the circumstances, the appropriate measure of reasonableness being the standard basis as described in Part 44 of the Civil Procedure Rules 1998. “Success Fee” Shall mean the percentage of Ordinary Fees that is added to those fees if the Lay Client Wins the Claim. “Trial” Shall mean the final contested hearing or the contested hearing of any issue to be tried separately. (NB a reference to a claim concluding at trial includes a claim settled after the trial has commenced or a judgment.) “Win”, “Won”, etc Shall mean that the Claim is Finally decided in the Lay Client’s favour in that, in a claim for money, the Lay Client is awarded any monies at all; an award of costs which includes Counsel’s fees will be regarded as being a Win. Where the Claim is not a money claim, “Win” will be defined by reference to the remedy or result sought. For the avoidance of doubt, a compromise that achieves benefit for the client will amount to a Win. .
