failed to participate in the required negotiation and instead
went to the courts, resulting in a non-negotiated and

In a First, Seattle Judge Sets RAND Rate in MS v. Motorola ~pj
Authored by: eric76 on Friday, April 26 2013 @ 08:13 PM EDT

You have your own personal meaning of "arbitrary" that I do not comprehend.

Perhaps you need a refresher course in vocabulary:

From Google:

ar·bi·trar·y
/ˈärbiˌtrerē/

Adjective
1. Based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system.
2. (of power or a ruling body) Unrestrained and autocratic in the use of authority.

Synonyms
high-handed
