Well, I disagree with that. Vic didn't appeal the amount awarded after all.The grounds to assume that there will eventually be post-judgement discovery is that there's no certainty of Vic winning his appeals and not owing anything. Unless you believe that he'll just immediately hand over the money if he loses all his appeals (which, true, would make post-judgement discovery unnecessary). I rather doubt that, though; I think he'd make them work for it.
