Da troot...Millie ain't got nare clue to his name. Except for the procedures, which any interested layman can easily understand.
The procedures now under way are for defining the issues for the trial court if it ever makes it to trial. Sometimes, often even, settlement is reached without a trial.
No dispute, no issue, no trial necessary.
Good lawyers, those sensitive to the lack of unlimited bread in the company breadboxes, will strive mightily to settle without a trial. In these days of unbridled greed, a company is fortunate if they have such lawyers.
On the other hand whichever company that has the most bread may try to steamroll the one that has little. In that case, they will not negotiate many issues. They will parse out the cost/benefit ratio, and calculate the probable cost of making the underdog submit, and budget out that amount. Only when it becomes apparent that the strategy ain't wukkin, do they relent.
Either way, predicting the outcome is iffy. Millie has no better chance than say Elevator Eddie in predicting that outcome.
