If the defendant makes an offer to settle out of court, can I refuse if I know I can get the full penalty.

My exLandlord is clearly non-compliant with Chicago's Municipal Code on Security Deposits, on several counts.
The penalty is double the full deposit. He only owes me half of the remaining deposit. Will it go against my case if I refuse to settle out of court and attempt to make him answer to his obvious discretion? Answers (1)

You never HAVE to settle a case and I've never seen a Judge hold a lack of settlement against any party. That doesn't mean there might not be good reasons to settle, however.
