You obviously didn't read the last part of the Judge's ruling the other day.

See point 38. MET lost this round...I read that as MET is liable for a chunk of APVG's costs...but I am not a lawyer and not pretending to be one so that's yet another question for the forthcoming shareholder meeting. How much might MET be up for in terms of APVG's legal costs if they lose ?
Obviously they won't know that so a better way to gain some insight is to ask for total legal costs so far. I would be surprised if it wasn't already in the several million area.
As I see it, the best hope for MET is that real estate data and between now and mid November shows APVG's assertion that "the sky is falling" is proved wrong and that MET's unit sales are so good between now and then that this matter reaches a negotiated settlement out of court.
