The only reason why it's gotten this far, instead of being settled, is because the two parties are at an impasse. And the conflicting views resulting in the impasse have been established by their respective boards, as argued by the law teams. These two companies failed to voluntarily agree to a compromise. No one made them get to this point. They fundamentally disagree with each other. Either they both think they're in the right. Or one side is bluffing, and willing to take a gambit, hoping the Court will go along with it.
