This is probably one of those sticky situations that would best be 
settled based on the relevant facts. A lawsuit between an individual and 
a vet is a dispute between that individual and the vet unless the 
ridemanager or potentially the AERC is also named in the suit. I would 
expect that it would be a little difficult to justify banning the person 
from rides based solely on the fact he/she filed a lawsuit.

While I tend to agree that we have too much litigation - it is our 
primary source of dispute resolution if the two parties can't agree. 
When a professional, e.g., MD, vet, structural engineer, etc. have 
malpractice insurance, then they in reality give up any say in how a 
dispute will be resolved since the insurance company is at financial risk.
