Just an update on that small claims court case that Iodynamics was involved in.

The plaintiff gave us two opportunities to settle with him before he filed an appeal in response to the judgement we were given on 11 March.

We felt no need to settle with this guy and told him if he didn’t want to pay us the amount determined in the judgement, then he should go ahead with the appeal.

On 24 March, I got this e-mail from him:

Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2004 00:55:45 -0700

Doran,
  I filed my appeal papers today, so I'll see you again soon.

Today, we got a check from him, dated and postmarked 23 March along with a note (also dated 23 March) that says, “I’ve decided to cut my losses.”

What’s up with that?

Of course, this is the same guy who, after we tried to get him to cough up some of the dough he owed us and drop his case to avoid our countersuit, replied with, ”I smell fear.”

The unexpected check

Now we just need to see if it’s any good. :-)
