and that's the misconception in the US... the importance of a case shouldn't be related to real money, fancy lawyers and nice, entertaining talks... ding dong the lawyer is dead. nevertheless, the german decision was made by a district court and since we don't have a bogus case law in germany, any other court, even another judge in the same court, could theoretically make another decision based on the written law or a decision from the surpreme courts (BGH, BVerfG). reyk > > On Wed, Jan 17, 2007 at 07:37:00AM -0600, Jeffrey C.
