[SIZE=12pt]Now, I'm just trying to think logically....IF the Nicolau list is cast out as null & void, what EXACTLY does that do the point of the whole process? What does that do to the THOUSANDS of prior arbitration in our industry and other industries? How does that affect future arbitration processes?[/SIZE]
