McCrary v. Bianco

OPINION

By the Court,

Maupin, J.:

In this appeal, we clarify the cost-shifting provisions of NRCP 68 and NRS 17.115 concerning offers of judgments in civil cases. We hold that district courts must, where applicable and where the offer does not preclude such a comparison, include pre-offer prejudgment interest along with the principal judgment amount when comparing the judgment obtained and an offer of judgment in post-trial proceedings for relief under the rule and statute. We also hold that the district court properly excluded pre-offer attorney fees and costs in making its comparison below.
