Richard v BBC

Richard v BBC / Judgment Date: 08 March 2018: CPR Pt.36 did not prevent disclosure of the amount of a settlement reached under the Pt.36 procedure. Part 36 prevented disclosure of the making of an offer, but once an offer had been accepted there was a binding compromise and Pt.36 made no reference to that situation. Whether the sum should be disclosed for the purpose of contribution proceedings would depend on the relevance of the information and the prejudice caused by its disclosure.
