How do you know this? It's a pure leap in the dark on your part, based
on false suppositions about what is being said in the verdict. I would
have said that in this scenario the "irrelevant and outdated" test the
court applied to the earlier bankruptcy immediately ceases to apply,
the existing order is no longer enforceable and it becomes incumbent
on Google to deliver the full picture. Now you might say it's
incumbent on Google to do that now (with the implied assertion that
that's what Google always does, almost by definition), to which I say
that that is precisely what the court has found Google is *not* doing
when it returns irrelevant, outdated links and nothing else.
