Paragraph 27A.6 Acceptance of offersF1

A pursuer’s offer may be accepted any time before—

A pursuer’s offer is accepted by lodging in process an acceptance of the offer in the form of a minute of acceptance.

A minute of acceptance must be unqualified other than as respects any question of contribution, indemnity or relief.

On acceptance of a pursuer’s offer either the pursuer or the defender may apply by motion for decree in terms of the offer and minute of acceptance.

Where a pursuer’s offer includes an offer to accept a sum of money in satisfaction of a crave for decree jointly and severally against two or more defenders, the offer is accepted only when accepted by all such defenders.

However, the sheriff may, on the motion of the pursuer, and with the consent of any defender who has lodged a minute of acceptance, grant decree in terms of the offer and minute of acceptance.
