AMFM,

I'm not saying there will be any cost to TLERA in dropping the case, the cost would be to the Lawyer who wouldn't recoup there fees or the client who would presumably have to pay for work done to date. This would, I imagine be a source of embarrassment to the TLERA committee who matched the lawyer and client and encouraged the case.

They may well have a good legal case, but is that what this is about now? It's not about inconvenience caused to residents or the morality of breaking the covenant but about the fact that the lawyers and the neighbours don't want to be out of pocket.
