Wait was it or wasn’t it? Presumably it was- I guess it’s down to what would the judge think?

> Wait was it or wasn’t it?

Doesn't really matter. The problem is the choice for the employer is really:

A risk of paying 3 x whatever (sometimes crazy) number the employee is asking for

versus

Certainty of paying 1 x whatever we settle out of court for

Risk aversion kicks in, and so the company settles.
