Just keep it dragging through the courts until the little person can't afford to pay any more legal bills and concedes the point or settles out of court for a pittance.
Up there with my pet hate - phoenixing businesses who continue to run up debts they never have any intention of paying, then walk away from them leaving their suppliers struggling. Something we see all the time at work unfortunately.

Oh yes - know all about that one. I know where I'm not buying any furniture from in future...

Prepacks are a nightmare in the print industry - problem is those suppliers - paper & ink who got caught first time are queuing up to supply the new company!! if suppliers refused to deal with prepacks it would stop the practise pretty quick.
Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

The problem with having an ethical business policy is that pretty soon you'll be queueing up to take advantage of a pre-pack yourself.
Suppliers simply can't afford to be picky who they supply, because if they are someone else will come along and take that business away from them.

The prepack completely screws up the market - especially selling rates, difficult to compete with a business devoid of debt with P&M they have got for a pittance!!
On a positive the majority fail in the first place because of inept management - it is the very same management who are running the new entity - not a shock a lot are failing a second/third time - you cannot polish a turd
