This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Opposing Attorney's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address the delay in providing an answer to the [lawsuit/case] currently pending between our respective clients, [Plaintiff's Name] and [Defendant's Name]. We believe it is essential to engage in negotiations before submitting a formal answer to the court. Connecticut's law encourages parties involved in litigation to engage in good faith negotiation and settlement discussions before proceeding with legal action. It is within this spirit of collaboration that we write to propose a delay in answering the complaint while we explore the possibility of resolving this matter outside of court. By delaying the filing of an answer, we provide an opportunity for both parties to fully assess the merits and potential defenses of their respective claims. This will allow us to engage in meaningful negotiations and potentially reach a mutually acceptable resolution, saving valuable time and resources for all parties involved. We kindly request your client's consent to this delay, as our client is eager to engage in negotiation and avoid unnecessary litigation expenses. Upon receipt of your agreement, we propose a period of [reasonable time frame, e.g., 30 days] to conduct negotiations and attempt resolution. It is important to note that this request does not imply any weakness in our client's position. Rather, it reflects our genuine belief that exploring the possibility of settlement is in the best interest of all parties involved. By engaging in negotiation, we can save both the court's and our clients' valuable time, while also potentially reaching a fair and just resolution. If your client agrees to this request, we propose that both parties agree to stay any time limits imposed by the court until we have concluded negotiations. This will ensure fairness and preserve the court's ability to address any outstanding issues. We kindly request your response within [reasonable response timeframe, e.g., 10 business days] to proceed accordingly. If we do not receive a response within this timeframe, we will assume your client does not agree to the proposed delay and will proceed with filing the answer as necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We genuinely believe that by engaging in negotiation, we can potentially save time, money, and the burden of legal proceedings for all parties involved. We remain committed to reaching a mutually beneficial resolution and look forward to your prompt response.
