Greg S.@greg_s· 8 Sept
Every adverse ruling since 2019 has gone to appeal. That is not a decision any more, it is a policy, and policies do not change for one case.
Yusuf B.@yusuf_b· 9 Sept
An appeal freezes the site for two years and they have a buyer waiting. Accepting it and selling is worth more than winning slowly.
Dana H.@dana_h· 10 Sept
Twenty-eight days is cheap. You file to keep the option open and decide properly later, which is what their counsel will advise.
