Mesa Offshore Trust (fka MOSH)

In addition, I expect the defense to throw everything they can against the wall and see if anything sticks. They have little to lose doing that. If they get lucky and something sticks i.e. gets ruled on in their favor, that is little bonus.

This is a potentially very expensive case so the legal fees are not an issue compared to the costs of losing.

I suspect that one part of their strategy is to simply out spend our lawyers. As I understand it the Mosh lawyers are on a contingency fee, but even so, they probably don't have as deep pockets as Pioneer. So I'd expect the defense to try to use up as much of the MOSH teams resources as they can prior to the trial date.
