If it gets to a point where this reaction has been overturned multiple times at what point does the governing body stop trying to shut down seasons as a consequence. Or do they stick to their guns and keep requiring people to take them to court.
Without knowing the *actual* legal reason given by the court, it is impossible to speculate on what will happen in another situation and whether the two are going to have the same result. Nor do we know if there were changes to the governing rules that occurred as a result of the court rejecting the cancellation of the season. Moreover, decisions of a trial court are not binding on another trial court any more than what "last week's" referee called is binding on today's referee, so there is also know certainty that a different trial judge is going to have the same opinion even on similar facts.
