§ 1-10-104 — Offer in court to confess for part of claim or causes

The defendant in an action for the recovery of money may offer
in court to confess judgment for part of the amount claimed, or
part of the causes involved in the action. If the plaintiff,
being present, refuses to accept such confession of judgment in
full satisfaction of his demands in the action, or having had
such notice as the court deems reasonable that the offer would
be made, its amount, and the time of making it, fails to attend,
and, on the trial, does not recover more than was offered to be
confessed, with interest from the date of the offer, the
plaintiff shall pay all costs of the defendant incurred after
the offer was made.
