If the article is accurate then "in my opinion" the lawyer for the Estate of Rudl did a good job for his client.
No one forced Porsche and/or it's insurance companies(s) to contribute a penny towards the settlement pot.
If Porsche had a something to prove, or to protect the reputation of the CGT, or the reputation of the company, or to point fingers, then Porsche could have refused to contribute a penny to the settlement pot and go to trial by itself.
Same thing for all the other defendants in the case.
The case settled, for whatever reasons.
