Why would she withdraw her complaint? Has she been convinced that it's not valid? Or was the settlement offer too good to refuse?
- _the_inflator 5y agoThis is a good question. The answer is quite simple, if you understand how lawyers/law is working. The reason behind complaints are not exposure, but compensation. It is common to request withdrawal of any pending complaints for settlements in order to be valid. After all you file for some sort of damage and when you get compensated in another form like in a settlement, there is no reason for pushing forward the complaint.
- mariodiana 5y agoIsn't it fair to say that this is the way human nature works? I'm sure her having "led a protest movement" via a Twitter crusade was gratifying, but not to the extent that depositing a sizable check would be. "Justice" doesn't have quite the same feel as cash on hand. And she got hers.
