I can't wait to see how much of a salty bitch he is if the case gets kicked back to him and the CoA smacks him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper again.
He won't care, he knew that was going to happen, or at least, that it was the most likely scenario. That was why he did the mediation and told them that they really should try to get to an agreement for their own sake.
Chuppah's ruling was, and still is, appeal bait, the argumentation and citations are so flimsy that any appeal court should be chomping at the bit to reverse at least some portions of it.
Honestly looking back I can see the logic of Chupp by doing it the way he did, let's say he does the opposite, rules everything in favor of Vic, now we have 3 or 4 appealing parties all with different allegiances and interests, all of them have rights to an Appeal and if that is negated they can appeal to a superior Court, but in the meantime the appeals court would have to hear all the appeals of the defendants.
However doing it the way he did, Vic appeals everything, the defendants will answer and if the appeals court decides Chupp ruled correctly Vic goes to higher court but also if they decide Chupp fucked up the defendants only have higher court as their appeal option, and let's be honest higher courts have a lower chance of listening to them that they would listening to Vic.
In a way this method is simpler, because due to how Chupp fucked up during the first part of this whole shit show, appeals are honestly something that either side could have gone for with a good chance of winning them. That is how egregious Chupp's Fuck Up's were.
The way things are now KV feels like winners, but honestly the defendants are in a very fucked up position, they have to argue that Chupp in all his "I don't give a fuck about standard procedure, I have been countermanded by the appeals court several times and I don't need citations in my rulings." glory did his job well, and was correct in all his choices and determinations, even those that were not his to decide.
Can you imagine having to argue THAT, your best bet is to say "yes THIS GUY did everything by the book and made no mistakes, no sire." And then they point at Chupp...
That is why the answers from the defendants are going to be awesome, and why many in lawtwater are trying to distance themselves from this case before that happens.
