Very insightful question, AppyPappy! Bravo.

I wonder what was the "nuisance-value offer" amount. The article doesn't say and when the link is followed, you are offered the chance to pay $124 to see the full writeup. No thank you.

That was my question. Lawyers usually take these cases on contingency, If they lose do they pay 1/3rd.?

The guy's lawyer probably said that if the plaintiff settled he would violate the representation agreement and be charged expenses and legal fees by his own lawyer.
