Class action suit against UBI

I was chatting to a lawer friend of mine last night over dinner and I brought up the subject of the Sub Sim petition (he knows i'm a sub nut :-)

Anyway, he suggested that if the petition didn't work we should submit a class action suit against UBI. He felt there was a strong enough case and that if those that signed the petition were willing to put their names on the suit then we'd have no problem succeeding in the action.

He was a bit vague on what the result might be but said we should at least all be able to get the SHIV purchase price back from UBI and maybe a bit more, plus they would have to foot the bill of the class action suit.

Anyway, he's gonna look into a bit more. He reckons we'd have no problem getting representation on a no win no fee basis as its a no brainer.

Would this be of interest to the Sub Sim community ? At least it gives us an option if the petition fails.....what do you all think ?
