Case EvaluationRita agrees to paint Bobs house for $$20,000.$ The partys agreed to a sky blue $($RGB $135,206,235)$ color. Bob prepays for the job and gives Rita $$20,000$ in advance. Rita notices that Bob had a lot of Detroit Lions memorabilia throughout his home. Rita decided to surprise Bob and purchased and painted the home with Honolulu blue $($RGB $0,118,182).$ When Bob sees the finished paint job he is extremely upset and tells Rita to repaint the house using the agreed upon sky blue code or return the $$20,000$ payment. After a few days, the color grows on Bob, and he likes it better than the sky$-$blue color due to his fondness for the Detroit Lions. He calls Rita and tells her that he doesnt want to fight over it anymore and if she gives him $$10,000$ that he would drop the matter. Rita agrees to pay him $$10,000$ however she never makes the payment. Bob sues Rita for $$10,000.$The state where Rita and Bob reside, requires all civil cases go through the case evaluation $($CE$)$ process as a precursor to trial. The CE panel has three neutral attorneys. The three attorneys will hear the matter and then decides how the case should be resolved. The parties have a choice to accept or reject the CE award. However, if a party rejects the award and elects to go to trial, the party must beat the CE award by $10\%$ or else pay the other parties legal$/$court fees that accumulate after the CE process.If the CE panel awards $$9,000$ to Bob, and Bob accepts the award and Rita rejects. The case then goes to trial, and the judge awards $$8,700$ to Bob. Rita must pay Bob $$8,700$ and his legal$/$court costs. Why? Rita needed to beat the CE award by $$900($$$9,000$ x $10\%).$ So$,$ Rita needed the trial court judgment to be $$8,100$ or less to not pay Bobs legal$/$court fees.However, lets assume that Bob rejects that the CE panels award, and Rita accepts. The case then goes to trial, and the judge awards $$8,700$ to Bob. Rita must pay Bob $$8,700,$ but Bob must pay Ritas legal$/$court costs. Why? Bob needed to beat the CE award by $$900($$$9,000$ x $10\%).$ So$,$ Bob needed the trial court judgment to be $$9,900$ or more to not pay Ritas legal$/$court fees.Does this make sense?
