Section 998, California Code of Civil Procedure (1650 words) |
 | On the flip side, Section 998(d) provides that if plaintiff's 998 offer is refused and defendant fails to obtain a more favorable judgment, then the court may award (in addition to the costs that plaintiff will already be eligible to recover as "prevailing party") a "reasonable sum" to cover plaintiff's incurred expenses for expert witnesses. |
| A plaintiff's 998 offer of a structured settlement (lump sum together with annuity for the life of the plaintiff) was held inadequate to trigger Section 998 cost-shifting because there was no evidence of the present value of the annuity and therefore no means to compare the 998 offer to the trial result. |
| The cases applying Section 998 in multi-plaintiff or multi-defendant settings are confusing and inconsistent, and substantially limit the effectiveness of the statute in such cases. |
| Ducati 998--May 2002 (2551 words) |
| The review 998 came with a set of LeoVinci pipes which I'd expect to be a bit louder and deeper than stock but even with the pipes, the motor music was a bit disappointing. |
| On the 998 the power is there from the second it is asked for and speed is always building but without any top end rush. |
| We rode the 998 as zestfully as we were able within the castrated redline, and the bike simply yawns, waiting for the rider to get on with it. |
