This being HN - might there be any Costa Rican lawyers in the house?

It would be extremely interesting to hear about the legal merits of the rival company's lawsuit, and the politics of the Supreme Court.

It's the kind of question that I'd rather see answered by an ecologist than a judge!

    My curiosity is about how the legal system got it wrong - simplistic or outdated laws, or clueless or corrupt judges, or some combination, or something else?
