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 :)
