Asking for an acquaintance:
If an offer to settle is made and accepted before the trial (even say one minute before the trial) can any order of costs be made? I said no, but that I would double check. My understanding is that the offer to settle creates the basis for awarding costs, but that you have to actually "lose" in court to have costs ordered against you.
