I believe the real key point here, and one which will undoubtedly be a major
focus of this case when the trial finally comes is that Demon had a history of
ignoring such complaints at the time he made his.  If he can prove that they
did so, then Demon may well be out more money.

Undoubtedly, the one who will finally benefit will be the lawyers......For
both parties.
