I think it's pretty clear now, the JUDGE DID NOT AWARD ANYTHING.  The
case was settled through the agreement of the two parties, and the
settlement was simply made binding by the court.  As far as I can tell,
the judge made no decision on the merits of the case.  That would have
taken years, at least.

The two parties are similar in size, but P.K. obviously decided that
agreement with most of SEA's demands was a better idea than fighting it
out.  (This is often a good idea even if you're right, which is a sad
comment on the justice system.)

So there will never be a judgement about who was right and who was wrong,
although we can all form our own opinions.
