Major blow to Imageline. Its unusual for a firm as reputable and established as H & K to do something like this so quickly. Normally, a firm won't make an initial appearance until the "conditions" are secure. They will advise the court of their intentions to appear and ask for some time to finalize the conditions. If I were Bernina's counsel I would pounce on this and see if the whole thing was not a sham by Riddick to delay the matter. Not that he made the whole thing up of course, because obviously H & K did appear, but inquire as to whether Riddick scammed H &K somehow. The issue could be addressed by the court privately, in camera, as the legal term goes, so any client confidences can be maintained. That way the judge can meet privately with H &K and Riddick to see if there ever was a realistic ability by Riddick to meet these "conditions." While it is a victory to have Imageline now scrambling for counsel, if they were my adversary I would definitely ask for more information and not just let this go.
