It will be money a defendant paid in either:

• to use a defence that they made an offer to settle before the case started and you turned it down (sometimes called a 鈥榙efence of tender before claim鈥�)
• when the court has ordered them to pay it in as part of a settlement that you鈥檝e accepted
• as part or all of a 鈥榩art 36 offer鈥� to settle made before April 2007 but you鈥檝e only now accepted it

You can ask for the money to be paid into either:

• your bank account
• your solicitor鈥檚 bank account
