In the meantime- i think this is where ChiefRock Sino General would remind us all in this position the exchange he had with a 'Judge' once:
"Public jurisdiction has NO authority over PRIVATE agreements"
*Justice to ChiefRock* "You're RIGHT."
I would take advantage of the time til your next hearing and switch to Kate Butler-mode, with the method she used...coached by none other than 'YOU-know-WHO' ;)
