<p class="MsoNormal">I have a case involving a boundary line
dispute where the opposing party (and their counsel) fail to
see reason. Although my client is willing to adjust the
boundary line to the location requested, the opposing party
continues to demand damages for claims we believe have no
merit, driving up costs and fees that will never be recovered
(for either side). Even worse, I do not believe opposing
counsel is properly counseling his clients (as demonstrated by
declarations submitted to the court on various motions). I
fear my client will come out of pocket tens of thousands of
dollars to defend the frivolous claims and am looking for ways
to “stop the bleeding.” Has anyone submitted an offer of
judgment in a case involving a boundary line dispute? If I
were to submit an offer of judgment, would I need to engage a
surveyor to prepare new legal descriptions, etc.
<u>before</u> submitting the offer of judgment? I would
appreciate any practical advice or ideas my colleagues may
have to offer.<o:p></o:p></p>
