I assume the lawyer took it on a contingency fee basis, with the aim of leveraging a decent settlement. Defendant has to decide how long to drag this out before taking the massive risk of a trial with witnesses.
Presumably, Rolex will wait and depending on what info emerges will decide at some point whether to terminate the dealership. If a Judge finds any of the alleged facts to be true, that's more than good enough for Rolex to rely on. Having said that, their contracts are probably heavily lawyered so that they don't need to wait for that anyway.
