I would presume that at the very least, a Cease and Desist order would be issued preventing Dean from further interference with the business affairs of the company. Desperate is as desperate does, and I suspect when reality strikes that he is in really deep trouble, even Dean may want to see the light of day from someplace other than through a set of iron bars and comply with it. Thus IMO a trial which could be a lengthy process won't impact the company and the merger. Without clean hands, he has little recourse against QASP.
