  "One can only hope that other businesses will learn from this and not react to negative reviews by torpedoing their businesses through similar litigation."

  on New Zealand Says Laws To Implement TPP Will Be Passed Now, Despite US Uncertainties, And Won't Be Rolled Back Even If TPP Fails

  They probably didn't want that to happen again.
