That is not a contradiction at all.  If you can produce a source which 
tells us that this obscure lawsuit was important, and which echoes your 
original research and analysis into what happened, then re-insert it 
with appropriate sourcing.  In the meantime the reliance on your own 
original historical research is problematic, and you should not 
reintroduce it until you have a secondary source.
