It does seem like they didn't prepare at all for yesterday. And it seems that the only reason why my uncle appealed is not to win, he seems to have realized he won't, but to get as much money from it as he can.
If it was up to my father and my good uncle (aunt's husband) they would continue and wouldn't agree that my uncle would get any money. But my aunt is very stressed and won't be able to handle much more of this. Also it would cost more to continue than when we pay our uncle off (because that's how it feels).
Fun story. The negotiation in these types of cases is done by the lawyers. Our lawyers had told my father and aunt this, so when the negotiations started they moved off to a different table. My uncle joined his lawyer and said: "Let's negotiate.". Our lawyer told him that the negotiations would be done by the lawyers. When my uncle kept hovering she literally told him: "Why don't you move over there, then we can get the negotiations started.". My uncle didn't like that! I would give a lot of money to be able to see his face at that moment.
We'll see how it goes during the next six weeks. One of our non-negotiable demands is that my uncle has to sign that he will never, ever try to get the whole thing started again.
