what if the court seems my offer isn’t reasonable ?
As per Sammy ... no one can predict what a court may find, BUT, over 90% of cases are settled by consent without needing a a judge to make a decision .... I also agree with Sammy that this is probably all bluff. He has nothing to lose by continuing to dick you around
You have already indicated when I asked earlier that your lawyer has said that the offer you have made is more than reasonable ... assuming you have been honest with the lawyer by providing accurate information, then there is no reason that you can't have a high degree of confidence in the offer.
So to repeat again what I wrote earlier, talk to your lawyer about making a final offer (of the amount already offered) as a .... 'without prejudice save as to costs'.... offer along with a heads up that if the offer is declined & you are forced to seek a remedy through the court, that you will be seeking all legal costs .... If you DON'T head that offer as without prejudice save as to costs,
you probably won't be able to use the offer in evidence to seek costs..
I'm fairly confident that an initiating application, notifying of a possibility of your legal costs will move things along ....
