That is entirely possible that it MIGHT put the process to a halt, but if they are functioning as a business then not likely. They still have to build out the hardware. At the very least at their own cost they would have to provide us with working hardware that would satisfy our claims and address our issues. OTOH they could wind up with a settlement that ends with us getting hardware at the dollar amount we paid them for. Lotta different possible solutions here for us. BUT based on the info I got, it seems like its going to go in our favor most likely barring some weird aspect we are not aware of. But with the existing info we should be ok after all this. Just might take some time is all.
The only reason I see that a company should be enjoined from presenting alternative complaint settlements to its aggrieved customers would be if there are already class-action settlement talks going on. If that is the case then first require AMT to make it clear that their proposal is different and may be less than what the class action would result in. After that it is up to us to decide how/if we can hold them to what is proposed.
Plaintiffs would probably argue that folks accepting or even considering the offers would be stealing the plaintiffs thunder so to speak. Well tough titties. If we are happy then we are happy. If we say no to the offers then we say no and nothing has changed. When the class action settlement/decision happens maybe we could have gotten more or maybe not either way that is for us to decide.
