It's a slam dunk for the court to uphold the small claim ruling.
You can't squeeze blood with that judgement but you can dog them, attach their bank accounts and wages, and hound them for 10 years after you win, then renew it for 10 more years.
Maybe you can get some more money for your additional expenses? Once the judge hears the mediation story he will not be sympathetic at all to Tony. That will hurt him. What a jackass!
Tate,
We're talking about our legal system here. Nothing is slam dunk. Lawyers think differently than you and me. Judges are just lawyers paid to decide which other lawyer knows the coded law the best.
Personally, I hope Action Central drills the bastard. If Tony were on this side of the continent and played these games, Vito, Guido or Luka would pay him a visit and make him an offer he couldn't refuse. Tony gave every other tournament promoter a bad name. This is really one sad case.
To me, the saddest part is Tony never even made a serious attempt to rectify the situation.
