Finkelstein should know better... a settlement with RATher will be made before this gets dug up again."
The line you quote is Goldberg's, not Finkelstein's. Goldberg himself suggests that the case is very unlikely to go to trial, but if it ever did it would put CBS in the position described. By the way, Finkelstein = me, governs.
Apologies...
Actually, we won’t have to wait for trial for cbs to allege that the story was false - they will have to allege “good cause” in their Answer ( or other responsive pleading), and their good cause is that the story is false. Then comes the discovery phase, when witnesses and documents are produced, etc. This will be fun.
