What the hell can you talk about it? How bad was it that you still dream about it xfd
A half day of jury selection, a day of opening statement and botched plaintiff testimony, an hour of waiting in the jury room the next morning for the judge to tell us they settled.
It was a scheduled 9 day trial over a $300,000 piece of equipment designed to make aluminum fence posts. At the time the company was making posts from 3/4" PVC pipe expanded in a press. They wanted to do the same thing with 3" aluminum pipe. The judge told us it had been in litigation for 7 years or so and had ballooned well beyond the cost of the equipment.
Settlement was confidential in the sense that the jury wasn't told what it was.
