Message: [QUOTE="Unbreakable, post: 2912601, member: 8290"] Do you know how this whole "legal system" thing works? Lodge has essentially been unemployed for the past 3 years, if the articles last year were true about him considering quitting ISC to return to NSW to become a labourer, that's probably confirmation that he's barely making ends meet. He doesn't have to pay them a cent if he can barely stay afloat himself, that's why sueing someone who isn't well off is sometimes a poor choice, as you end up spending all this money on legal fees & waste copious amount of time for sometimes little or no return. It'll really depend on how long the statute of limitations allows for them to try and claim this money from Lodge, their lawyer might've fucked up in hindsight. New York statute of limitations allows for you to file a lawsuit / civil action up to 6 years after the initial incident, if they had of waited a little longer it might've been more likely that Lodge would've returned home to Australia and jumped straight in to an NRL contract without this whole media circus blocking him, then they could've sued him and probably claimed a vast majority of that $1.6m almost immediately, instead they'll have to wait a lot longer and possibly may never see all of that $1.6m, depending on how Lodge's career trajectory pans out.
