Is it possible that in the end, a court may rule that there is no basis to not allowing the sale and will force the sale to go through anyway?

I have no idea if the courts would have reason to get involved. I suppose UAE could file suit...? ... Any thoughts cboldt?

At this "political" level, the courts don't have a case. Eller (P&O's Miami operation) sued in London to stop the sale, and was tossed out of court there.

They also sued in the US, but on a business angle. If an administrative agency steps in and enforces the law in a way that permits a lawsuit, then I expect there will be one. So far, there hasn't been any enforcement action (relating to the sale) against P&O or DPW.

I haven't bothered trying to postulate realistic solutions to this political idiocy (yes, I mean idiocy, not ideology - all of the pols are acting stupid), but I am sure there are many of them.
