Hi Thanks for the reply. I have a question though - Shouldn't the [their] have a proper antecedent? A pronoun is wrongly used if it does not refer directly to an antecedent. Here the antecedents are only Taitz and Botterud, and both are singular. Or is it legitimate to use [their] in the way it has been done in this case? Please clarify. :) . Thanks.
