It is interesting to examine different perspectives. Some greek philosophers believed that the world was full of mystery and even invented a whole tribe of gods to expalin events that they did not understand. For others they was nothing new under the sun.
A JV contract is not meant to be a mystery. It is made to bring specific clarity to the relationship, rights, obligations, and consequences.
Likewise the law is not a mystery. The law is there to bring consistency to the affairs of men and companies and so that all may know what to expect. Each case may have it's own unique wrinkles, but you may rest assured that there are not many questions which have not already been answered. Once the question is answered, the answer is very likely to remain the same.
I suspect that Aber already knows the answer from a legal perspective.
What we are dealing with is human nature and specifically grief.
People have to work through a few specific stages when dealing with grief.
First there is shock and disbelief. Then there may be anger and protests of unfairness and even betrayal. And then slowly there comes acceptence and moving on.
Most judges will quickly recognize the nature of the case which is being presented. Chances are that the suit will just kind of fizzle out before it gets to court. The lawyers will do their research into the specific contact, statute and common law precedent and report back with the probability of success and failure and the cost of both. It is not unusual for both lawyers to know the eventual outcome before the trial.
By that time the initial feelings may have diminished and there may be more imortant things to focus energy, time and resources on.
One thing is for sure. This will not take much time in court. Preliminary motions may be successful in estopping the action.
