Can you actually see this happening? If the lawyer says that is the case, would not Rowling dump the publisher. And if a lawyer would rat out Rowling what is to stop him from ratting out the publisher.
It is the Goose that laid the golden egg kind of story, that only a publisher with an ironclad unbreakable contract with the goose, and up to the eyebrows in debt would consider IMO. But maybe this is the case?
