Re: litigation process
Settlement possibilities can't be determined from limited information as to the prior schedule. Whether there will be a settlement depends on a number of factors, most notably the quality of the evidence gathered in discovery, the attorneys' assesment of the credibility of potential witnesses, and the demands being made by the plaintiff.
