Remember also that before commencing proceedings there has certainly been communication between the respective lawyers and perhaps even negotiations. I suspect Parneros may have been left with no other option other than total surrender.
But yes, pass the popcorn. Let's enjoy the show as long as it lasts. Which will probably be as long as B&N lasts.

I agree that Parneros had no choice but to sue.
And he may very well prevail in court.
But some of the language in his filing is a wee bit emotional and he attributes motivations to Riggio that are going to be hard to back up. Unless Riggio was as stupid as the BPH execs during their conspiracy and left a trail of his moves against Parneros, documenting Riggio's state of mind and motivation is going to be hard. Might make the suit harder to win.
Most wrongful termination suits stick to the easily demonstrable facts: he was fired, B&N refused to pay the contracted terms, and resorted to false(?) claims to justify not paying. That alone makes for a lawsuit.
Claiming Riggio was angry because he was left with no way out of B&N (unless he actually said it to his face) is verging on telepathy.
