A quick definition of hilo settlement:

Term: Hilo Settlement

Definition: Hilo Settlement is another term for a High-Low Agreement. This is an agreement between two parties in a legal case where they agree on a minimum and maximum amount of money that will be paid out in a settlement. This helps to limit the risk for both parties and can help to avoid a lengthy and expensive trial.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A hilo settlement is an agreement between two parties in which they agree to settle a dispute by using a predetermined range of values. This range is typically referred to as a high-low agreement.

Example: Two parties are in a legal dispute over damages resulting from a car accident. They agree to a hilo settlement with a range of $10,000 to $20,000. If the court awards damages less than $10,000, the plaintiff will receive $10,000. If the court awards damages greater than $20,000, the plaintiff will receive $20,000. If the court awards damages within the range of $10,000 to $20,000, the plaintiff will receive the amount awarded by the court.

This example illustrates how a hilo settlement works. The parties agree to a range of values that they are willing to accept as a settlement. This helps to avoid the uncertainty and expense of a trial. If the court awards damages within the range, the plaintiff receives the amount awarded by the court. If the court awards damages outside of the range, the plaintiff receives the predetermined amount agreed upon in the hilo settlement.

Tell us what's important to you

Yeah, I would have definitely gone to the hotel if I knew they booked a room for me. At the very least, it would be proper to show up personally and explain your extraneous circumstances

Nah but it's in your name. I went to an ASD. I asked the school for an extra night and they gave it to me. You just need to plan things better.

You live and you learn
16:45
because i did let one of the staff know i'd be leaving early and thought that would be enough
16:46
but i was confused why i got an e-mail with a room cuz I didn't ask for it at all
Law-Shark
16:46
Well, you know now what to do.
16:47
well on their end they prob shouldn't just be buying hotel rooms for ppl who don't request it and then getting mad I didn't go
16:48
goof
16:48
Did you get any materials for admitted students day explaining that they would be booking hotel rooms?
16:49
there was an opt in on the form but I didn't select yes
16:49
Hmm, that's weird
16:50
i think it's unprofessional of them to call you like what if you had an emergency and had to leave? why is it their business why you didn't stay? not like they're lacking money and $100.00 hotel room is gona make them bankrupt
16:50
i figured it was an error and I was on the road so I didn't read into it. plus it would make more sense for it to be the night before cuz it started at 9am? so I was like uhhh and paid it no mind
16:51
@bigfatsloth: that's what i'm saying, they were gonna pay no matter what
16:54
"This is like peak disconenct between the male and female brain." like bffr
16:55
It was probably an administrative error then. I can't imagine why they would book hotel rooms for people that didn't select yes. I would maybe follow up with them and apologize for the misunderstanding to avoid any awkwardness
