The following excerpt is from Pigdon v. Brackenridge, 2013 BCSC 1778 (CanLII):

Whether an offer ought reasonably to have been accepted must be determined as at the time the offer was open for acceptance, rather than by reference to the judgment pronounced at trial: Hartshorne v. Hartshorne, at para. 27.
