Background
Judge Clark initiated the court session, highlighting the issue at hand—the legal status of Firefly and Dragon Studio. The plaintiff, represented by Firefly's legal team, argued against the proposed merger, contending that the distinct business activities of the two corporations could lead to unfair competition in the market. Firefly, known for technological innovation, expressed concerns about maintaining autonomy and avoiding monopolistic tendencies.
In contrast, Dragon Studio, represented by its legal team, argued in favor of the merger. They asserted that the proposed conglomerate would enhance efficiency and provide a more comprehensive range of services to customers. The synergies between Dragon Studio's creativity and Firefly's technological expertise were emphasized as beneficial to both entities and the industry.
Legal Proceedings
The court proceedings involved the presentation of arguments, examination of evidence, and witness testimonies. Firefly's legal team presented financial documents, market analyses, and expert testimonies supporting their contention against the merger, emphasizing potential unfair market dominance and stifling of innovation.

They argued that the proposed union aligned with the evolving needs of the industry and showcased positive outcomes for consumers and the overall economy.
After reviewing the evidence, Judge Clark allowed closing statements. Firefly's legal team urged the court to prevent the amalgamation, emphasizing the preservation of diversity and innovation in the industry. Dragon Studio's legal team reiterated the positive outcomes and opportunities that the conglomerate could bring, requesting the court's approval.

The court chose a more 'laissez-faire' approach to the case altogether, finding that both corporations, Firefly and Dragon Studio, were lawfully allowed to operate as separate entities if they wished. Additionally, the court determined that the corporations could operate as a conglomerate under any name they chose, whether it be 'Dragonfly Studio' or otherwise.
