I hope it drags on and on, every day is another day greer sits looking at the clock, checking his phone and emails feverishly fretting.So Greer tried to spur the court into action and Judge Nancy said "No, U" and now he's back where he was a week ago, sitting on his hands, with no idea when a decision is going to be made. He is completely powerless to do anything but watch time pass. He must be so upset.
He seems to think that as long as filming is going on, they can still fit him into the schedule. I don't watch the show, but is this even feasible? Can they bring in another act last minute, without taking a spot away from someone else?
Anyway, a couple questions for the legal Kiwis:
If the court grants the motion to compel arbitration (with dismissal)
Greer will appeal, but what could he gain? His complaint was very specific that he wanted to get on the celeb judging round for season 17. By the time he appeals, celeb judging will be over. The court can't go back in time and grant his wish. So what would the appeal be for? Could he roll his request forward to season 18?
If the court doesn't grant the motion to compel
IIRC Fremantle gets 2 weeks to respond to the request for preliminary injunction.
It just seems like with all those responses and counter responses, that could put them into May, and that would really be cutting it close. The original Accommodations might not be available for rehearsal, let alone the actual show. Especially since they'd have to go to Los Angeles for it. LA is only a quick flight away, but I'm guessing they'd have to be there for a full day, if not longer.
- Does Greer then get a chance to respond?
- And then Fremantle gets to respond to his response? How much time would they get?
- Then another wait for the court to respond?
This time next year could be deja-vu...hype, audition, rejection, court.
