QUESTION
Would I be able to drop my claim with financial consequences to the defendants?
Asked on Sep 21st, 2013 on Estate Planning - Michigan
More details to this question:
The defense lawyers mention in their claim that they want my plaintiff's claim to be dismissed with costs on a substantial indemnity basis. What do they mean by that? This is a small claims case and I am representing myself.

Lawyers are not permitted in a small claims action, so I do not understand your facts. If they believe that your claims are frivolous, then they may be seeking costs.

I am unclear what they are asking for. Please double check with your Attorney. He or she appears to have heard the conversation.

I would have to know much more. Defendant's often ask for costs that the Court has no intention of giving.
