More details to this question:
I am not from Nashville, but find myself involved in a lawsuit there. In Miami, where I am from, settlement offers are made by the Defendant first. But, we are being told that in Nashville, the Plaintiff make the first settlement offer -- which makes very little sense to me. Is this true and, if so, how does that make sense or work?
1 ANSWER
There is no rule that says that either party is required to make the first offer. Either party can make the first offer.
