I suppose if the airport wins then it'll be good publicity whereas if they lose it'll be disasterous publicity? Can anyone with a bit more knowledge than me about legal matters speculate as to whether or not they will win?
On a more personal note, the true scale of the problems hit home today - I could regularly see four + arrivals and/or departures whilst working down the old allotment, today whilst working there, I saw the grand total of 0.
