"That's not how it works. When claims are amalgamated the date for renewal is re-set at the earliest date of all the claims. That means if you have even one claim a year or two earlier, they all get set to that early date."

In the best case scenario, even if all the claims hadn't reverted to the date of the earliest claims, they still forgot to renew those "earliest" claims and would have been in default on those. The way I look at it, since all the claims were amalgamated to the earliest date, they only had one date to remember and couldn't even do that but they still forgot the claims that really did expire in April 2016. They would have to be complete idiots to try and lie their way out of this one. I wonder if fog would work....
