My point is this: if the city pays for Nenshi's defence, that is on Wenzel, not the mayor.

I'm very interested in seeing the statement of defense. I would expect that we're not going to see that for a while.
As much as I believe that Wenzel would probably want vindication proclaimed by a judge, I personally believe that there will be a settlement long before this gets to the courts.
If the city decides not to cover the defense, then its likely that the mayor will be forced to settle this to reduce the risk of losing.
If the city decides that they are going to cover the legal defense and possible award, how much are they going to want to risk a reward of 6 million bucks plus legal fees.
Does the city have insurance on this kind of thing? Its not like its a malpractice suit.
