Offer Of Judgment Analyzer in Maine
Under Maine Rule of Civil Procedure 68, a party who rejects a valid offer of judgment and then fails to obtain a more favorable result at trial must pay the opposing party’s litigation costs from the date of the offer. The rule also imposes a 14% penalty on the amount of damages awarded from the date of the rejection, calculated as simple interest. This penalty attaches to the judgment amount and is separate from any pre-judgment or post-judgment interest the rule may separately address. The exact computation depends on the offer amount, the final judgment, and the timing of the rejection. The official source at the Maine Courts website contains the full text and any exceptions. The DocketMath calculator applies this rule to estimate the penalty for a given case.
