Didn't they settle out of court for an undisclosed settlement?
Settling out of court is a solid win without the judgement. Ask any lawyer if he'd rather collect that way than to have to do battle in court. If the lawyer took their case on a contingency basis he collects 30% minimum without ever having to step foot in court. 'Course if he does take it to trial and wins, he might get more like 45% of the proceeds. If he takes it to court and loses, he collects ZIP. So lawyers love out of court settlements.
