United will claim refusal to deplane was disorderly, giving the legal right to deplane him.

Doubt it will stand up in court, but it explains why they claimed from the start that he was violent and abusive.

As the law prof pointed out, their own guidelines provided no grounds upon which to ask/order him to deplane at that juncture. None.

I doubt this one will see a court.

Hope they disclose the $$ amount and then the appeal date and appeal ruling.

If so it will be around the end of Trumps 2nd term if not later

"Your honor, after I punched this man 5 times in the face he finally punched me back. Since he punched me back, I therefore had the right to punch him five times in the first place."

I don't think that sort of logic would really hold up in court.
