[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9174624, member: 7023840"] Timing matters- both in terms of knowledge and in terms of leverage. Nothing in litigation is ever certain, other than the attorney will bill you for their time. Now, let's ignore the financial shenanigans of nuTSR for a second and just think about the WoTC litigation. One primary benefit of the corporate form is the limited liability protection. The entity has separate liability from the owners (shareholders, members, etc.). In the current WoTC litigation, we have both the two legal entities named as defendants (nuTSR, Museum) ... as well as LaNasa in an individual capacity. I addressed this briefly here when the answer and counterclaims were filed- [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.enworld.org/threads/now-it%E2%80%99s-wotc%E2%80%99s-turn-wotc-moves-against-tsr3.684691/post-8564850[/URL] The general idea is that by adding LaNasa, he now has "skin in the game." Later, I had a longer post that discussed the issues more generally, before applying it to this case here- [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.enworld.org/threads/explainers-part-2-stages-of-litigation-tsr-wotc-litigation.687473/[/URL] I expected that they would try to LaNasa out - after all, it's one thing for one of your shell entities to be subject to a judgment. It's another thing to be on the hook personally. Why does timing matter? Because of certainty. Right now, everything is stopped - but it doesn't really matter, since when it starts up again, he is still in the lawsuit. Normal litigation practice would be to try and remove that uncertainty early, and determine the likelihood of removing him in an individual capacity. But that's just, like, my opinion man. [/QUOTE]
