Simple Question that no one seems to be able to answer

QUESTION: In Seminole county, Florida, if i sue someone for say $100 dollars and they tell the Judge that they owe or are willing to pay me the $100, CAN I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THEIR $100 AND TAKE THE CASE TO TRIAL????? Why? Because, facts that will come out by questioning witnesses are more important than the $100 to collect.

PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER THIS QUESTION! It would seem to be a rule of the court. yes you can refuse and request a trial OR no you must take the money and end your suit. (period) ONE OR THE OTHER.

ANSWERS PLEASE, EVEN GUESSES, THANKS

Here is my guess....

Both of you appear at trial. Defendant says, "Your Honor, I accept that I owe the plaintiff the $100.00 claimed and am prepared to pay it."

Judge says, "Thank you, judgment for Plaintiff in the amount of $100.00".

You say, "But, But, But.... your Honor. Money isn't really the issue.. I just want to have a trial so that I can ask questions of the defendant."

Judge says, "Okay. Judgment for Plantiff, no money. Case closed. Thank you. Next case."

Sorry, but the court is NOT a stage to be used for your own personal presentation. If you are really concerned about trying to do this, subpoena the facts before the trial... then once you have the information you desired, dismiss the case.

THANKS .... HALKET

Started again to try to settle without a law suit.

But if it fails again, your suggestions seems like it would give the answers that I need, if this issue comes up later against me.

Thanks for the reply.
