If I'm not mistaken, this week the court in San Diego was going to render a decision on the WTS wish to continue oral arguements, or something along those lines. Someone may have brought this up already. If so, then my apologies.

More importantly, though (IMO), it has set a very significant, compelling, and damn near foolproof legal precedent to beat the WT Legal Dept. in abuse-related court cases in the US...
