This is why trying to play "cover your backside" against RBLSATM is a
mug's game in the first place. Finding daft reasons to sue is what they
do all day. Or more likely they'll threaten to sue but offer not to if
you settle out of court for a bit less than they think it will cost you
to defend the case. Since actually suing anyone means that a) they can
be countersued b) they need to be able to convince a judge of the merits
of their case.
The classic being the advert where the alarm fitter falls off a ladder
and it turns out he's actually using the wrong type of ladder for the
task in hand. Thing is that even if it had been the right type of ladder
if you fall off a ladder you've erected then you'd have a hard time
convincing anyone sane that it isn't your fault :)
