In Traynor v. Delmonico (4D09-881), the Fourth District affirmed the trial court's order concluding that a proposal for settlement conditioned upon the acceptance of two defendants is invalid. The court quoted a recent decision of the Florida Supreme Court which stated:
a joint offer of settlement or judgment that is conditioned on the mutual acceptance of all of the joint offerees . . . is invalid and unenforceable because it is conditioned such that neither offeree can independently evaluate or settle his or her respective claim by accepting the proposal.
