Sounds like a lot of billable hours to me.   and more importantly, as you pointed out earlier, delays.

Which arguments end up being deemed plausible are unknown but the billable hours and the delay is almost a certainty.

The current status is not acceptable to many.  Changing that status to delay and "do over" seems attractive.

As to whether this delay would be a good use of public money, is of course a valid point.   When a question like that is asked in many instances, that would be a time to suggest negotiations or arbitration.  Not sure if that step has been done here

My point is that you'd never get the temporary injunction. At least, not long enough to prevent Crown from opening.

In some magical case where you did, the expense of operating an extra school, combined with maintenance (and eventual replacement) costs of an aging school, mean the best use, long-term, of taxpayer funds would strongly argue in waiting out court case. Particularly since you seem to agree Wootton parents can't win on the merits.[/quote]

Wootton families don’t care if Crown opens and wouldn’t ask a judge to block it from doing so. They will ask a judge to block Wootton from being closed and moved to Crown. They actually have a pretty good case for this. [/quote]

That would mean ordering an extra school to be operated, at significant public expense. That isn't likely to happen.

But I'm sure a lawyer would be happy to take your money.[/quote]
