RE: No educated guesses are possible here.4 Jun 2025 18:00
Great points. I will expand upon this one point 'We have been told we are in a process that would take too long to explain, or is too complex to explain. "
IMO RRR/AB say this because a-they dont understand it b-the 'process' keeps changing. Brain surgery is complex but the doctors & hospital could still provide an update to the family on timing & progress. There are numerous examples of complex situations where explanations and updates can be provided.
The difference is the doctors know what they are doing and have done it before so they understand the variables.
Here RRR/AB dont know, have never done it before, my guess is this type of arbitration is not at all common and the DRC running the arbitration might have limited experience in it. This might be the only arbitration case that the current DRC administration has even done.
The whole thing could be ruse just to consume time. If so the choices faced by RRR are rather bleak and thus they pin their hopes that the other side who also will get money is also wanting to resolve this.
