Rule 68 Offer of Judgment

This rule no longer exists. It was taken out of the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure back in 1990, so you won't find any current legal effect from "Rule 68" itself.

If you're looking for information about offers of settlement in Colorado civil cases, you need to look at a different source: section 13-17-202 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. That statute now covers the process for making formal settlement offers during a lawsuit, including how those offers can affect who pays court costs depending on the outcome of the case.

If someone mentions "Rule 68" to you in the context of a Colorado case, they may be thinking of an older rule that's no longer in use, or they may be referring to a similar concept from federal court or another state. Either way, check the current Colorado statute for accurate, up to date information.
