If you care more about the outcome of the case, you're better off with a claim that drops all this Supreme Court stuff and simply pays out based on the ultimate outcome of the case after appeals are settled. At that point the value of the claim has a reasonably clear interpretation -- a probability that he will win his case. (but what exactly does "win" mean? Are there weird loopholes?) Once you include this Supreme Court stuff, suddenly there's a split interpretation. If I think he's absolutely going to lose his appeal 2-7 if they hear it, that's worth 22 -- unless they don't hear it, in which case it is worth 0. Is a low value because FX participants believe the SC is not going to hear his case, or because they don't think many justices will support it? There's an additional issue: what if the Supreme Court makes multiple decisions related to the case? (Is this possible? I'm ignorant of the Canadian system.) Could there be scenarios where, for example, a Supreme Court ruling results in a retrial which ultimately results in another appeal to the Supreme Court and a second ruling? For that matter, are there situations where there, for example, may be a majority ruling in his favor, and a minority dissenting position which is also in his favor but with a less broad interpretation of the law? Is the "vote in his favor" actually well defined? Back to regular message display | |||
