But then, if you wanted to, how could you extricate yourself from the alligator pond into which your pride, for want of anything more or less descriptive, has landed you? The idea that you might wish extrication might be a far fetched one but it's no more improbable than the thought that says the examiner is reading about himself on wrinkled plum's pages and formulating his own defamation or libel suit against you for the words you've already written?
It'll probably take one of those lawyer's letters to the CAA and to the examiner saying that, without admitting any prejudice, you are withdrawing your case. Lawyers are good at saving face for their clients. Your legal mouthpiece could take the time to thank all and sundry for the concession of a retest and perhaps acknowledge that your original legal adviser was not in possession of all the facts. A pragmatic solution might just be possible if the other parties wished to let the matter drop.
