You'd shut down the bridge the moment you read that report?
You run a company sued for patent infringement. You employ a lot of people in good jobs, and you make good money. The other side seeks a TRO to enjoin your operations, and the judge says "no." Time passes. A new judge is assigned. The other side brings a new motion for a TRO, citing new facts and new law. The judge grants this motion, and orders you to suspend your operations. Do you obey the order, or do you figure that the first judge's ruling was good enough to give you cover?
