Saying the publisher hasn't (think you meant haven't) asked the devs, is not really true, as they have been asking them about it for nearly 2 years now, that's why they have went to court. Also the $1.4 million is not costs, that's money codemasters paid upfront to netdevil, the costs have still to be added onto that. Another point you're missing is Scott Brown was the president and founder of netdevil until he quit about a week ago. I'm a nobody and I know more about this than you do, and you are meant to be reporting on it.

I quote the source: [quote]Codemasters are seeking around 1.4 million USD in costs from NetdDevil for failing to honour the contract and deliver/release the game on or before 24 February 2009[/quote]About the "asking"... well, I thought it would be clear that that was more sarcasm than anything else. Guess it wasn't. We indeed don't follow up on each change in personnel of every company on a daily basis, but we also said that Brown stated that back in 2009 so in all fairness the statement is correct as it stands. Finally: "publisher" is not plural so it's "hasn't and not "haven't". If I would have said "the publisher's people", then it would have been "haven't".
