Who knows what kinds of agreements or contracts they may or may not have had in place when they parted company. Generally, when a business is sold or someone that made their name & rep working for another person's business decides to start their own, there are mutual agreements as to how everyone is going to conduct themselves. I know & like both of these guys, but I have NO FREAKIN' IDEA as to the reasonings or merits of this particular case, just pure speculation as to why their would need to be a lawsuit. I hope I get the letter, maybe it will explain the need for litigation. I wondered if they've exhausted all DIPLOMACY before going to war?? I'd have to feel REALLY wronged before I'd every consider suing someone. I watched my parents go thru a 10-year lawsuit (they were sued, then they counter-sued)that literally bankrupted them financially & emotionally.
