Here’s the legal thingy (don’t know the term) from the court talking about denying its motion:
I just skimmed through and tried to find other arguments from Lindt that maybe I would like. Nothing too persuasive but I didn’t give too much of a detailed read. Reason I did this is because I think the video above is a little dishonest when they say “… so you know how a company thinks”. I don’t disagree that companies have some pretty bad views, but from my limited legal knowledge its typical for a company or an individual to argue just about anything. I’m sure those three arguments she shared are typical of how a company (and Lindt) thinks, but I think anyone would have such arguments. The goal of lawyers is to get a case dismissed for there client. Occasionally the client may not want some types of arguments because it may make them look bad. There are other clients who don’t care and just want the case gone.
To answer your question: I wouldn’t necessarily think less of a person for making those kinds of arguments, in a sense. Going off of what I wrote above, sometimes you’ll have a bunch of arguments. I don’t really have a strong opinion on how you fight your legal cases. I overall don’t have much of a high opinion of our courts/legal system. I would try and look at all the defenses someone brought up and see if they have some reasonable ones. I think Lindt may? probably not.
Hmm. I was just focusing on a company/individual defending itself. Is the fact that an individual actually (allegedly) do all the stuff important here? idk.
