At some point down the road this will go to trial if TMM is still around and I don't like their chances. This isn't a complicated lawsuit why would TMM keep begging the judge for delays on everything if they really thought they had a chance? The answer is they wouldn't.
It is more highly likely that at some point down the road that the MDDG will not be around being bled dry by attorneys and trials (bankos might flow)....LLOL......in the intrim, TMMI will be crossing the tees and dotting the eyes.
The reason for delays is that TMMI, I am sure is getting all their ducks lined up, and who knows maybe they will name some more of the perps, and bring them to justice also. Guess we won the statute of limitations battle which will certainly spell doom for the defendant!!! As for HP, it's a non-invent so don't get your slender hopes up.
The defendants have this sue HP fantasy, well guess what, HP is NOT being sued.....I know it is hard for the defendant's slim hopes to be crushed, but HP is a NOMINAL DEFENDANT which is totally different from a defendant who is being sued. THIS IS WHAT THE JUDGE EXPLAINED IN THE LAST HEARING.
A DEFENDANT BEING SUED HAS LIABILITY, AND ALSO HAS A RIGHT TO RECOVERY....A NOMINAL DEFENDANT IS NAMED ONLY FOR TECHNICAL REASONS(IN THIS CASE, THEY ACQUIRED A SUCCESSOR COMPANY)....anyone would know this except the defendant perps who are so totally desperate they don't know what to spin. So let me repeat the definition for the 5th time (below in red) Look it up!!!!
We already know that HP will be a NOMINAL DEFENDANT....nothing more...if u want to call that being sued go ahead---it won't help the demented group.
Nominal defendant..... A defendant or plaintiff included in a lawsuit because of a technical connection with the matter in dispute, and necessary for the court to decide all issues and make a proper judgement, BUT with NO responsibility, NO fault AND NO RIGHT TO RECOVERY.
