Thanks for your input. Yup, I think that's the point Abbe was trying to make in our "interview." http://www.pxthis.com/2009/12/restaurant-enterprise-410/ Of course, she uses a... umm... euphemism... LOL. Hey Mark M.

As the owner he was only named in the lawsuit because he was the only one with any money. The other defendants wouldn't be able to pay anyway even if they lost. It's not worth it to the lawyers to win a case if they have nothing to collect in the end. They are most likely not being paid so they only get money if they win the case. He ended up winning but he still had to spend a lot of money on lawyers to defend himself. That's usually what the lawyers want. They hope that the owners settle to avoid paying the mounting legal fees even if they don't have a strong case. They just keep it going in the court system until the defendants get fed up and settle.

But it def does make it easier to understand. lol ;) Centro did the right thing. Even if they are found innocent there could have been mounting legals fees alone.
