Huh, I’m not an attorney but that sure seems actionable if the intended use was documented in a contract.
The relevant case law may be found in Molotov vs. New Construction .
She's got an attorney and they're trying to stop it based on that, but it just seems like everyone involved (edit: besides her) just doesn't give a fuck.
They've been taught that if they ignore the law and do whatever they want to they don't get punched in the face.
That will only go on for so long but it's going to suck until someone gets punchy.
What's the saying? "Ownership is 90% posession."
Like with the stuff going on at the East Wing or the Kennedy Center, some people just move forward even if they're not allowed to because chances are they won't be stopped or penalized.
Especially with the recent East Wing argument, the lesson is "if you do it fast enough and ignore other people getting angry about it, you can do whatever you want."
gimme some wiskey and point them out, I get punchy, 1 shot or 20
