“LOL! I’m no fan of Apple, but I hate lawyers even more, and they will be the BIG LOSERS if the case collapses on this.”
The case has been going on for nine years. During due diligence Apple has been compelled to release thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of internal documents to the plaintiff attorneys. In the course of nine years these attorneys have studied the documents for evidence to the support their case as well as other potential issues they might turn into into a case for another shakedown.
If the judge appropriately throws out the case because the named plaintiffs have no standing, the lawyers will likely soon be back with a completely new case constructed from the information gleaned during the fishing expedition on this case.
The attorneys who specialize in these corporate shakedowns never give up.
Probably true...still set back their jackpot by years, though. They’ll be able to use the payoff for their nursing home care.
Most likely, after wasting the courts time for nine years, the judge will dismiss with prejudice. They will forever be forbidden from bringing this case again.
