Just so we're clear, I didn't say I didn't think there was a chance for a lawsuit. I don't know all of the particulars with respect to the claims filed against SEVU. I was just pointing out the differences between the case litigated against Waste Management and what I believe to be correct in the case filed against SEVU. IMO, there are several factors which may or may not have an impact on the outcome of SEVU's case. I don't know much about the law so I really don't want to go out too far on this limb but I think the PR's are a potential problem. On the other hand, I think that "intent" may be difficult to prove. For the lawsuit to be successful, they're gonna have to prove that SEVU intentionally and knowingingly put out false PRs. If, on the other hand, SEVU believed that what they were saying was within the realm of possibilities and they have the documentation to back these statements up then they're in the clear. There is also the possibility that the claimed damages may be small enough that the company may decide that it's easier (and cheaper) to settle it through arbitration than to duke it out in the courts. My gut feeling? I'd put the odds at 50/50. All just my opinion only. SH
