Not true. If you can cite another similar small claims case against the company, the Judge will take that under consideration as well.
It's only not beneficial if they settle outside court and have a non disclosure agreement. And that's not going to happen with Rossmann. There is zero doubt in my mind that he would turn down a million dollar payout to keep quiet.
I also don't expect him to settle. Louis has principles and a DGAF - get it done attitude and an extreme allergy to bullshit. Truly a hero for the people. All he asks is that we participate and speak out on these issues. My next guys poker night (or equivalent) might include a group email writing session. I know several people who I would not have expected to get involved who have written their reps regarding right to repair and other consumer advocacy and freedom issues.
