Thanks so much to all of you who have taken the time to respond to my previous threads. This really is a difficult case and i dont know where to go with it.
So much so because it is causing me a huge amount of worry and anxiety, that i am considering sending the defendant a settlement proposal.
I would very much like this whole process to end now as it has dragged on for nearly a year. I feel that if i offered the defendant a settlement proposal of paying 50% of the outstanding bill that maybe acceptable to him? I have no idea and he may just refuse or ignore it completely, but i also feel that even if he refuses, the judge will be able to see that we have tried to settle before the court date.
I know that if i use the "without prejudice" phrase then it cannot be brought into court, but i actually think it would be beneficial for the judge to be aware that we were open to this. Any advice on settlement /offer procedure would be helpful. I think i would need to make an OPEN OFFER - is that correct?
