This article is in violation of the WP:BLP policy by its clear intent to air dubious defamatory allegations regarding a living person. Although ostensibly an account of the court case in question, it is clearly a WP:COATRACK to provide extended coverage of the unsubstantiated - and subsequently discredited - allegations of abuse and tax-evasion that were the subject of the libel action. Both of these topics are already covered in at least adequate (arguably excessive) detail in the Werner Erhard biographical page itself. This article serves no purpose apart from causing further embarassment by drawing attention to the original accusations with an implied "no smoke without fire" innuendo. The court case itself is insignificant and was withdrawn before ever reaching a hearing.
Although this article has previously been nominated for deletion unsuccesfully, I suggest that it merits further consideration in the light of the Arbcom decision to sanction and de-sysop the editor who created it for numerous violations of WP:BLP and WP:NPOV (many of them in relation to the individual disparaged here), under both that user name and previous ones.
