When it comes to litigtion, there are far fewer "slam dunks" than you
would think. I agree that the suit sounds weak on the surface, but
won't make further judgment until I read the actual complaint in a few
days.

That's the correct thing to do.

Of course, most suits could have been avoided by better dialog along the way.

Why argue in court for such an expense when one can do that at a meeting or in
front of an arbiter?
