I did set out by saying it was 'the absolute worst' outcome.
I hope you are correct, let me be clear on that. However, the earlier hearings had already established that we were 'incorrect' in the way we handled the SDI matching rights issue. We appear to have accepted that we handled that wrongly back in October/November time and stopped defending that line of argument.
If you want my 'best case' potential outcome it would be that the Judge orders us to pay SDI the 'contracted' £1m compensation for that error, the Judge recognises that the relationship is irretrievably broken down and says the payment of the compensation is enough to see the contract terminated and we are free from the Fat C*nt's clutches. If that happens I will be out partying.
However, if I'm honest, I think the 'absolute worst' scenario is more likely than the 'best case' outcome. In fact, anything that sees us stuck with the Fat C*nt is a 'worst case'. Its not what any of us want to hear - so gets shouted down on FF - but its what all the previous hearings in this case point towards. Maybe the Judge will come up with something in between the two scenarios. The closer it is to seeing us rid of the Fat C*nt at an affordable price the better.
I make no apologies, however, for illustrating to others just how awful this could turn out though. Better that than being blinded by wishful thinking that its all part of some cunning 'long game'. We have to win this. It is vital.
