To assume that SDSÂ’s lawyers are some kind of hick company who donÂ’t understand the implications of their actions is just plain dumb.
And at this point to assume that it was the lawyers choice to default...
There are many more scenerios that could have happened that were beyond the control and advise of legal council, like
1. Lack of payment to the council, thus they won't continue
2. AA refusing to answer the complaint and work with council, leaving the councils hands tied
3. Council quiting because of inconsistencies in AA "facts"
4. The fact that AA has the final call, if he told council to not answer they won't
5. AA only instructed and paid for US council to try the jurisdiction motion
6. AA fired the US council
There are also several other possibilities, that will leave the councils hands tied all not the fault of council or by thier lead...

You could be right, but given the seriousness of a negative outcome I personally do not think that someone would go into this process without some kind of plan or exit strategy. Sacking your legal council and burying your head in the sand is unlikely to yield results and imo unlikely to be AA's strategy
All I'm saying is that people should be wary of posting "certainties" when there's still some way to go. atacpdx
may be right, but no one here
knows. There's no certainly LFL will be able to recover any US decreed damages. Nor do people know whether LFL will claim in the UK, or whether AA will defend himself if they do.
Whatever happens from this point forward may well indicate the right and wrongs, but AA's lack of response in the US case does not signify guilt, lies or wrongdoing and its incorrect of anyone to suggest it does.
