Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Our readers may be familiar with the suit the Siltar Group brought to court against Jeric Varrit as legal representatives of Htrah, famous Mon Calamari musician. Htrah's laywer Celox Scorpio had no trouble filing the suit, but there were serious difficulties getting Mister Varrit to court - as anyone familiar with him expected.
The latest news is that the matter was settled out of court, and - to the surprise of some - not by violence, but by a financial settlement. From what is known, Jeric Varrit agreed to pay 65'000 credits in exchange for the suit being dropped.
According to some rumors Jeric Varrit celebrated this outcome by dancing in hot pants in Jailbirds, but no pictures were availble as proof.
It remains to be seen if civilian suits become a more common reaction to Tatooine's violence. Most locals are sceptical since "hiring a bounty hunter is cheaper than hiring a laywer, and you don't feel like having to shower after the hiring".
