Hi everyone,
An unusual case here. I received a demand letter insisting I do not break a specific rule in a contract (setting a meeting with the plaintiff). The entire case is baseless since this rule has never been broken.
Regardless, I responded politely to the lawyer of the plaintiff. I offered the plaintiff exactly what they wished for (a meeting, to be specific).
This meeting had to take place before a date X specified by the plaintiff and their lawyer. My offer was received by the plaintiff 4 weeks before the deadline (date X). In my offer, I suggested 8 different days for meeting with the plaintiff.
The plaintiff made absolutely no attempts to contact me back (directly or indirectly via their lawyer) until after date X (the date before which they insisted on a meeting)!
Do I take this case seriously? Is it not ridiculous that, as the accused, I offer the settlement they wish for - yet they themselves do not even contact me back before the date set by themselves?! How will this be considered if it goes to court?
Thank you for your help,
Arthur
