Of course written contracts rule the day, but when the former COO comes in an testifies to a verbal modification, his story matches the allegations and Delta confesses to really sloppy management (creating an estoppel issue) I figured for sure Mesa had their case won.

Overall, only a small minority of plaintiffs ever win in Court. (Hence my excellent record) The Courts like the parties to work out their problems without intervention. The TRO gave Delta and Mesa time to work out their differences, but those differences turned out to be irreconcilable. IMHO, it first looked like an abusive husband, but then it turned out the wife was cheating on her billing to the tune of at least the 3 million. Divorce granted, Plaintiff, pay back the money you stole.
