Judges take pride in not having their important decisions reversed by appeals courts. In the Nok arbitration, hundreds of millions of dollars are involved. Nok has asserted that the arbitration is linked to and dependent on rulings and documents from the Ericy case. True or not, Nok was going to appeal an adverse decision. The arbitrators were probably not going to make a decision until the appeal was resolved. However, assuming the arbitrators, not having seen these documents, did find in favor of Idcc and afterwards Nok won the appeal, it would not only be a serious blow to the prestige of the judge, but Nok might even try to appeal the arbitrator's decision because of the "unusual situation". It is really best for Idcc to get these rulings and documents out on the table for all to see.
