Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3487766, member: 9403"] FWIW, "on information and belief" is also what someone states in a pleading in which they seek, during discovery, to obtain evidence that the statements are in fact true. Another reason her attorney likely included unsupported allegations in the complaint is in an attempt to make Agler's alleged affair a legally salient issue such that in order to defend the suit, the Sparks would have to turn over any evidence that documents proof of such an affair during discovery. Then the truth of those allegations would be triable facts at summary judgment or if the case went to a jury trial, which means all of that information would come to light, and Agler's affair would be dragged through the media. Absolutely an incentive to settle, even if it might turn out, in the end, to be either loosely true or loosely legally relevant to her firing. [/QUOTE]
