Act 14: I Withdraw My Acceptance
After I submitted my "counter-motion," it started to bother me that I had accepted an offer even though Taubman refused to recognize that we had an agreement – and that as long as my acceptance was on the table, Taubman could force me to accept their original terms at any time merely by sending me the $1,000 that they had originally offered to send me. As conditions may change, I didn't think I wanted to be in that situation forever. So I decided to give Taubman a few days to decide whether or not they wanted to honor our agreement, at which point my acceptance would be withdrawn. Here's the text of the note I FedEx'ed to them on October 8, 2001.
And then there was the surprising news about the upcoming hearing, which I knew nothing about! Not being an attorney, and not being familiar with legal procedure, I recognized that important deadlines could easily have slipped by me. So I called the Court – and the clerk told me that there was nothing scheduled or upcoming at all! The clerk wouldn't even attempt to predict what might happen next or when it might happen – she said that the judge would read the briefs when he felt like it, and then he might issue a ruling, or he might schedule a hearing, and if he did schedule a hearing he'd probably give me a few weeks' notice... In other words, either the clerk had no idea of what she was talking about, or Ms. Greenberg fed me some misinformation to make me feel a sense of urgency. I wouldn't have thought that lawyers were allowed to do things like that. Shows what I know. |
