Offer Of Judgment Analyzer in Delaware

Under Delaware Superior Court Civil Rule 68, a party served with an offer of judgment has 10 days to accept it. That 10‑day window begins when the offer is served, and if the offeree does not accept within that period, the offer is deemed withdrawn. The rule governs how costs may shift if the final judgment is less favorable than the rejected offer. The official source at the link above sets out the full text, including any exceptions and the precise operation of the cost‑shifting provision. A worked example below demonstrates how the 10‑day timeline and the rule’s cost consequences apply in a typical scenario. Use DocketMath’s offer of judgment analyzer to estimate how the rule would apply to your own case.
