Filed in 2021. That's such a long timeframe, makes me wonder if inflation is priced in. If they appeal for three years, will it be inflation adjusted or be increased by central interest rates?

    I don't think that is particularly unusual for a lawsuit. And I don't know about there, but in the US, they have to pay interest on judgments until it's paid. In some cases (I don't know when), you have to put the money in escrow before you can appeal a verdict.
