Lawyers are not PR people, its not surprising they would try any avenue to save the company money.

Rest assured that if this hadn't become a big news story they would have got away with it too, as no random citizen has the means to force them to do anything, especially when it comes to the courts.

Why would they be 'chasing' any voters with up to 5 years until the next election? How about do your jobs and represent the people who did vote for you in opposition of the government? Then you might win back some respect of the electorate.
