courts are not making claims they are just the mediators of arguments presented to them.
if there is a dispute/contention that cannot be resolved by itself. then thats what the court do. they mediate the arguments and come to a judgement

obviously they have not been given enough counter arguments (from the dev lawyers) to give the judge enough information to just quash the case at hearing level. so its been moved on to trial to get more information to make a judgement

you cant presume the judge knows he is a scammer just by name recognition/media and hope the judge threw out the case at the claims/hearing level. your lawyers have to tell the judge(and now judge+jury) because they can only judge things based on what is said within the proceedings.

so instead of playing defense to CSW claims which is just a duck, weave, dodge or block of CSW claims, arguments(lies).. your lawyers need to present how CSW is a false entity with no rights, no power or authority thus any and all csw argument are void and that there is no claim.
dont just be on the defence of this arguments

you cant just say the court is taking him seriously. its actually that the court does not know either way and wants to know more. so your side needs to inform the judge and not hope the judge can figure it out on his own without your side presenting the details the judge needs to figure out
