If it wasn't race related or they had any sort of a leg to stand on, why did they lose the case? Bad Lawyering?

I meant to ask why they settled if they had a case. A countersuit for the cost of the lawyers and legal fees would seemed to have been in order in they had a leg to stand on.

Actually the story says they "settled" not that they lost the case.

I imagine the insurance company for the association figured it was way cheaper to settle than it would be to go to court.

It usually is.
