Ann: Arbitration Update, page-54

So … if AVZ decided to ignore the arbitration “request” … does that mean, in your opinion, that is the end of the thing? Or does that then mean that Z can take it to a “proper” court case, complete with all the likely extra cost and time delays they tend to bring and in that case demonstrate that they tried to resolve the issue without the cost of court by offering arbitration but that the arbitration was rejected by AVZ? Is that how it works in the bigger picture? Is that why it’s in AVZ’s interest to respond to the arbitration even though it (based on my interpretation of the company announcements) is convinced there is no case to answer? Is that what’s going on do you think?
