It would appear so, although I'm surprised RBS and Complex Systems couldn't come to an agreement given that (I presume) RBS wants to continue using the software and Complex wants to get paid for people using it.
- fiatmoney 12y agoIt's likely that the injunction is being used as leverage by Complex Systems - RBS now has what amounts to a hard deadline with a hard failure condition, rather than being able to accumulate damages that will only potentially be paid after an appeal, etc. while keeping their business up and running.
