The thing to keep in mind is that Judge Walrath's role is that of claims adjudicator. That said, the DIMEQ claimants have asserted a claim against the debtors which will be assessed for its validity as a legal matter. The claim can only be based on (1) contract (express or implied) or (2) tort. In the case of (1) the debtors would have had to have a contractual obligation (with all the elements of contract satisfied and no defenses). In the case of (2) the debtors will have had to have become liable to the DIMEQ claimants under a tort theory (i.e., the debtors did something wrong and have to compensate the claimants for that wrong).
Like many of you I have enjoyed Art Steinberg's court performances, though I have not been following the DIMEQ matter closely. Now that I have focused on it, however, my view is that Art must show that his clients have a valid claim under (1) or (2) or he is out of luck. [??? - hier gibt es massiven Widerspruch, weil diese dritte Möglichkeit bislang von niemandem ins Spiel gebracht wurde - daß die Dimes völlig rausfallen könnten...Anm. Irim.] It is my conjecture that mediation was delayed as a signal to Judge Walrath that the mediating parties want/need a resolution on DIMEQ to complete their negotiations, and I expect that she will accommodate them, otherwise we can expect another mediation delay.
I further conjecture that Steinberg's clients were offered some amount but that it was unsatisfactory...
Dem Rest widerspricht Gibson sofort, und ich denke zu Recht, deshalb zitiere ich ihn nicht - nicht Gibson, sondern »den Rest«. Die Überlegung, daß die Verlängerung der Mediation direkt mit der Dime-Sache in Zusammenhang steht, und daß Steinberg möglicherweise pokert - mit der Option, in Berufung zu gehen, wenn ihm das Ergebnis nicht paßt (mit allen u.U. verzögernden Folgewirkungen), finde ich aber ausgesprochen bedenkenswert."
