    Hmm, with some lawsuits going years and years, seems like postponing decisions could save a lot because of the time value of money.

    The specifics vary depending on exactly what is owed to whom and why, but in many of these cases the amount owed is subject to interest if, ultimately, it must be paid, or the money has actually already been provided but is held in escrow.
