Comments

minor corrections

I don't know if it's considered tacky for one of the parties to a lawsuit to comment on a posting about that suit, but...

• There's a typo in the third paragraph from the end, the word "that" is duplicated.

• You say "Mishkoff initially indicated that he would settle, but then refused to sign the agreement." That makes it sound like I backed out of something to which I had already agreed, which is the exact opposite of what happened. I would suggest something like "Mishkoff initially indicated that he would settle, but then refused to sign the agreement when Taubman imposed new terms." (I think that something like "Taubman and Mishkoff agreed to settle, but the settlement broke down when Taubman refused to honor the agreement" would be even better, but I'm guessing that you won't go for that, even though it's more accurate than your characterization.)

• You say that "the parties eventually settled," but we did not. Taubman moved to dismiss the case, and we agreed. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me that the word "settled" implies more than just an agreement to dismiss the case.

Other than those minor points, it's a good article, you've managed to succinctly capture the essence of a complex case.
