Jones v. Jernigan
green
1 sentence1938The rule excluding an offer of compromise is based upon the proposition that such an offer does not ordinarily proceed from and imply a belief that the adversary’s claim is well founded, but rather that the further prosecution of the claim, whether well-founded or not, would in any event cause such annoyance as is preferably avoided by the payment of the sum offered, and the offer therefore does not signify an admission of the alleged facts on which the claim is based.” Jones v. Jernigan, 29 N. M. 399, 223 Pac. 100 . | 1 | 1938–1938 |
