Till v. Halsey

Till v. Halsey is a legal case that addressed whether an employer’s offer to settle a discrimination claim should automatically be accepted or rejected. The court held that a defendant cannot force a plaintiff to accept a settlement offer unless it is fair and reasonable, considering factors like timing, terms, and whether the offer was genuine. Essentially, the case emphasizes that settlement negotiations must be voluntary and fair, and courts will scrutinize offers to prevent coercion or unfair pressure on claimants.
