Are you really both asserting that the mere fact someone is willing to litigate acts as evidence to the merit of their claims?
This is California. Frivolous lawsuits make up a meaningful portion of our GDP.
- tempestn 10y agoCertainly turning down a $4.5M settlement suggests you believe there's merit to your claims. Also, reputable lawyers won't take on a case they don't believe they have any chance of winning, and Keker & Van Nest appears to be a reputable firm. So not always, but in this case, basically yes. Admittedly there is a bit of a difference between "chance of winning" and "some merit" (unfortunately) though.
- Natsu 10y agoEven SCO hired reputable lawyers. Alas, it's generally the less rational plaintiffs where people give them entirely too much credit. It's always better to wait for all the facts first. We have no reason to rush to judgement, nor is it a good idea. It simply makes one easier to manipulate, as the truth is most often the last thing to be heard. It's always easier to toss out a few quick lies than to painstakingly document the truth, especially in court.
