 What we would propose to do is

 have those reasons in by the 7th of July, 

 when we would normally have been proceeding;

 however, we will not rule on them until we 

 have heard the evidence, so  to allow, with

 caution, any potential further issues about

 abuse of process to be canvassed after the

 evidence is in.

     So, it's a Pyrrhic victory to some

     extent, Mr. Guiste.  I agree ,with you that we

 can adjourn the abuse of process motion argument itself from today.

Pyrrhic victory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Pyrrhic victory is a victory with such a devastating cost that it is tantamount to defeat. Someone who wins a Pyrrhic victory has been victorious in some way; however, the heavy toll negates any sense of achievement or profit

(another term for this would be ''hollow  victory'l[l]
