[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 720618, member: 2426"] I am not trying to say that he won't be compelled to answer. From [USER=274]@CuseJacket[/USER] 's post, it appears that a judge has ruled that he has to. I haven't read the article yet, but I assume Williamson's lawyers will appeal that decision. I was only saying that I had expected them to file motions to exclude the questions. The amount of the claim in the lawsuit seems excessive, even if they are legally entitled to damages from Williamson breaking the contract. The plaintiff in the case is a sketchy person. It doesn't look like these questions actually have any bearing on the case. The plaintiff, the amount of the lawsuit, and getting embarrassing and potentially damaging (to Duke) questions into the public eye, all make it seem to me that the plaintiff is using the legal system to force Williamson into a settlement. It doesn't look to me (untrained and not fully informed) like they actually would want the case to go to trial. My wild guess is that there will be a settlement with undisclosed details. The big question will be how much the settlement amount is. If things aren't going well for the agent, she can propose a settlement amount less than what Williamson would pay his lawyers to go all the way thru a trial and she will probably still come out ahead.
