    - "at least" -- nm - ML Jul 8, 05:57
    - So a little suck instead of a large amount. I guess I'll take it. - Krusty Jul 8, 05:57
    - But I'm happy for Tottenham. The stadium looks sweet and it plus this deal should mean big money. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 8, 05:53

    - Oh actually, because the deposition was made during discovery (evidence gathering) pending the case going to court. - Roger More Jul 8, 05:04 2
      - The settlement presumably includes a non-disclosure, so I think you were right -- nm - ty97 Jul 8, 05:06 1
        
        That's non-disclosure by the parties of the settlement - the deposition was a document filed with the court (which wouldn't be bound by th settlement) - Roger More Jul 8, 06:25
