The odds are not in his favor. Tell you what. I'll put up a hundred bucks to one prrson, the first to take me up on it here, that Ty loses. I don't care if the settlement is for one dollar in Sugars favor. Only respond on this thread, and don't respond if we have never corresponded before, here or privately, positive or negative.

Arbitration decides cases on the merits. It needs an agreement.
Mediation in Florida is a non binding settlement mechanism, and the Judge will send you there, even involuntarily, in 99% of all Florida civil cases....
