IFAIK Garry Hare won....

*** May 18, 2006: The New York Judge dismisses Amiga's complaint, arguing that ""The language of the Agreement could not be more clear that it was [Amiga's] responsibility, not [Hare's] responsibility, to secure the $1,000,000.""


I would use the term "slam dunk", not just won.
The judge's comment is synonymous in court speak to "why the hell have you wasted the court's time with this nonsense."

I always rely on my failing memory, these days, rather than actually check things out for real - hence I would use more measured terms such as 'won' instead of 'slam dunk'.

Just in case I got it totally wrong again and leave myself enough room to escape! :-)
