In any event the costs awarded are at court rates which are about 50-60% of actual legal fees and don’t pay anything for your personal time and effort. Further, many small claims courts do not award costs. | |

Before the the parties met, the facilitator advised me to settle for only the top two claims that were very certain to prevail if the judge orders a decision. Why would I agree to this? If it's (almost certain) why wouldn't I take my chances with the rest of the claims, so to speak? | |
