What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
I have settlement discussions over the phone with the opposing council (the settlement discussions took place based on mutual interest of both the parties). Before the talks begin, the opposing council stated that the settlement talks are confidential. Finally, the settlement talks failed. Now, the opposing council is emailing me accusing that I accepted my guilty during those settlement talks (I never accepted guilty) and also revealing (by email) some discussions that took place during the settlement talks. Is it legal for the opposing council to reveal any part of the "confidential" settlement talks (or false information about the settlement talks) over the emails?
Whether the opposing council or I can use any matter that was discussed in the settlement talks in this case?
