Ah well. I did and I do. The Team Lotus logo in my avatar may suggest bias but that only went in after seeing the arguments from both sides, and deciding that Fernandes had the high ground. Yes, they breached some aspect of the license agreement and have rightly had to pay damages for that. I'm not saying he was 'in the right' to break the terms of an agreement, but it's all relative.
In every other respect I feel Group Lotus were in the wrong. They launched this vendetta trying to stop someone else using the Team Lotus name, which they have no right to as they don't own it. As this judgement showed. And seeing as they don't own Team Lotus, they are, in my eyes, very lucky to get away with the aforementioned ties to the Team Lotus history.
Edit: Jonathan Noble has linked to the full trial notes and I'm reading through them now... my opinion may change over the course of this lol
