I won't pretend to know the ins & outs of the specific law that might apply here and the local bi-weekly newspaper there hasn't run a story on the latest development, that won't happen until Wednesday so I don't know the precise citation (if the attorney could even give one since this is presumably a matter under litigation). Off hand I imagine their insurer would have a cow if they did something off the cuff as well.
