Catspaw is the first to come up with something that is not a position statement put out by one of the two principal litigants. The fact that the National Bar Assn. is withholding custom from the hotel chain until a decision is made is an important point. The Folk Alliance is still in the frying pan. If it is a small group, they cannot afford to lose money or engage in litigation to protect their stake. Contracts not honored are to lawyers what rotten fruit is to fruit flies- you lose even if you win. Americans are litigious; it has become a game and the ridiculous monetary awards only extend the time taken up in the courts, at great taxpayer expense..
