The lawyers. B&S agreed to take a lump sum payment to
cover the case through
to appeals.
Not quite. The Revised
Letter of
Engagement provides that
Boies Schiller only agreed to eat the
lawyer bills. The
expenses (court costs, expert fees, etc) are not covered,
and must be paid by TSG:
The Engagement Agreement
specifically
provides that, except for the compensation obligations
specifically described in the Engagement Agreement and
summarized above, SCO
will not be obligated to pay
any legal fees, whether hourly, contingent or
otherwise, to
the Law Firms, or any other law firms that may be
engaged by
the Law Firms, in connection with the SCO
Litigation through the end of the
current litigation between
SCO and IBM, including any appeals. However, SCO
will
remain obligated to pay any expert, consulting and
other expenses
(including out-of-pocket expenses of all
law firms working on the SCO
Litigation) related to the
SCO Litigation.
(emphasis
added by me)
So either someone is paying the bills, or else the
bankruptcy estate is racking up one heck of a bill that likely
will never be
paid.
