For example, a defendant agrees to settle with a plaintiff by demanding the plaintiff pay the defendant $1,000 per month to stop violating the fundamental civil rights of the plaintiff. Indeed, I know of such a defendant that made such an absurd and obviously and patently "bad faith" type of offer to a plaintiff party. You want my opinion? That would not be a good faith offer to settle and is nothing more than a bad joke and sanctions should be allowed against such a defendant for such an absurd "settlement offer."
