I speculated on the reasons why they didn't fight the appeals, but the Liberals not attending and choosing to allow the appeals to continue uncontested isn't interpretation or speculation.

Yeah, clearly I meant that you inserted your interpretation of the feds not preventing the appeal from continuing. Makes more sense for the feds to avoid a mudslinging match about adequate consultation at the leave to appeal rather than the actual appeal - especially during an election.
