Amir doesn't actually have to do anything.That part of it is odd, yes, though I guess I saw some unusual stuff in 10 years of representing big companies, investment banks, and the disgustingly wealthy.
Amir is free to say that he is not represented by counsel in this matter and request that Eric's lawyer contact him directly. That would save Amir a legal bill. Always good to know if the opposing party is serious before you lawyer up.
He was attacked about the recession, took a clear position and offered several options.
I haven't seen a substantive response from Eric yet, nor have I seen any metrics that would back up any of his accusations.
Eric says himself that he has no obligation to prove anything, but as long as he doesn't prove or can't prove anything, there's nothing but hot air.
At what point would action be required here?
On the other hand, the question arises in my mind as to whether Amirm and Erin should clarify with their lawyers whether certain statements from Eric should be refrained from.
A court injunction for defamation isn't very expensive here, but I don't know what it's like in the US.
In any case, it would put Eric under pressure and show whether he is serious. Then he would have to prove that his statement is correct and that both of them made incorrect measurements.
Sometimes attack is the best defense...
However, I prefer more peaceful solutions.
