skiguy - "My guess (pure guess) is that Star agreed not to pursue Reynolds any more in court and Reynolds agreed to drop their claim to the $35 million they wanted for legal fees."

You persist in this argument even though attorney's fees were not an issue. RJR used that false issue as an excuse to get Star into court ordered mediation. RJR did not want to appear to be going to Star "hat in hand" and used this as cover. Given that CAFC reversed most of the District Court ruling, RJR was never going to be awarded attorney's fees. But CAFC settled the attorney's fees question when it issued this ruling, "AFFIRMED-IN-PART AND REVERSED-IN-PART Each party shall bear its own costs."

The mediated settlement conference was NOT about attorneys fees. Therefore, Star had NO reason to walk away empty-handed. We'll know what they walked away with in a few weeks...
