| 单词 | Calderbank letter |
| 释义 | 考爾德銀行信件 A without prejudice letter containing an offer of settlement relating to any issue in the proceedings but reserving the right to disclose the letter to the court on the issue of costs, usually marked on the face of the letter ‘without prejudice save as to costs’ (‘Calderbank offer’): Calderbank v Calderbank [1975] 3 All ER 333. A Calderbank letter is given statutory recognition in The Rules of the High Court (Cap 4A) O 22 r 14. The court shall take into account an offer contained in a Calderbank letter when exercising its discretion to award costs, except where the party making the offer could have protected his position as to costs by means of a payment into court: O 62 r 5(d); Director of Buildings & Lands v Shun Fung Ironworks Ltd [1995] 1 HKC 417 (PC); Choy Bing Wing v Hong Kong & Shanghai Hotels Ltd (No 2) [1998] 4 HKC 555 (CA). This in effect means that if the offer is not accepted, and the eventual award by the court is less favourable than the terms of the offer, the party making the offer may be entitled to costs as from the date of the offer. See also Without prejudice. 一封無損權利的信件，載有涉及法律程序中的任何爭議點的和解建議，但保留權利向法庭就訟費問題透露該信件；通常在該信件標明有「無損權利，但訟費不在此限」（「考爾德銀行提議」）：Calderbank v Calderbank [1975] 3 All ER 333。考爾德銀行信件獲《高等法院規則》（第4A章）第22號命令第14條的法定承認。法庭在行使酌情權判給訟費時，必須考慮考爾德銀行信件中的建議，除非作出提議的一方當事人就訟費方面，本應可透過向法院繳存款項而得到保障：《高等法院規則》（第4A章）第62號命令第5(d)條； Director of Buildings & Lands v Shun Fung Ironworks Ltd [1995] 1 HKC 417（樞密院）；Choy Bing Wing v Hong Kong & Shanghai Hotels Ltd (No 2) [1998] 4 HKC 555（上訴法院）。實際上，即如果該提議不獲接納，及法庭最終裁決比該建議的條款較差，則作出建議的一方當事人有權獲得由作出建議的日期起計的訟費。另見 Without prejudice。 |
