This is original research?
Yes. To my knowledge, this has never been written up
in any newspaper,
magazine, or book. It was discovered by reading websites that I think
we would all agree are not themselves reliable sources and by
referencing official court documents. The case, what happened in it,
the outcome, are all matters of interpretation involving original
research
I do not agree that stating that A sued B, when you have a court document
stating that A sued B, is a "matter of interpretation involving original
research." In fact, I find this to be quite strange.
You can argue that it's a notability problem if the only source is the court
document, but poor notability is not original research.
