What amazes me are all the comments after the story, almost entirely from involved people, not least the owner.
I am not at all legally trained, but surely making your opinions public like that and making claims about the other parties creates a rather rocky basis for any future legal recourse, and even more so opens the way for libel (or is it slander) cases.
I was always under the impression that in such circumstances, you kept quiet and let your lawyer do all the talking. Certainly makes it all a bit hard to ever take to court and have an "unbiased" jury.
Anyone with lawyerly knowledge out there? What is the story about such things?
