They fear a whole slew of law suits in the wake of this case, by taking it to Appeal and dragging it out for perhaps years they hope to dissuade others from going to law.

Well, the law erodes the limits of what is able to be sued upon.
A hundred or so years ago, kids that went into train yards could NOT sue when they had a leg cut off. Over time, the courts held that train yards were "attractive" to chldren and the train companies had to make their train yards safe for children; even when the children were uninvited tresspassers coming onto the property in the middle of the night.
About 50 or so years ago, you couldn't sue a charity or government. Now, you can.
This whole subject of children abused by a church being able to sue the church for its decisions has become mainstrem. See?
Watchtower is scared. Scared that they go B-U-S-T
