If, because of acceptance, the whole of the detailed assessment proceedings are settled, the receiving party must give notice of that fact to the court immediately, (see Section 1 for details as to how to communicate with the Court).

Once a Part 36 offer is accepted the assessment is stayed and the agreed sum is payable within 14 days. If payment is not made, the receiving party may apply for a final costs certificate for the unpaid sum (CPR 47.20 (4)(d)).

Where the accepted offer was not a Part 36 offer, either party may apply for a costs certificate under CPR 47.10. This should be done by consent, but if necessary a receiving party can apply for a certificate under CPR 23 (see section 20).
