That would be true if Liberty hadn't stated a few weeks ago that they wouldn't re-negotiate the terms of a valid contract, thus backing BRDC into a corner effectively forcing them to effect the termination clause.
This could have been handled far more discretely, but once the media all realised that the get-out clause existed and had to be effected before this year's event took place, then the pressure was on the BRDC to admit that they had acted.
It's all very well Liberty saying that they would have started re-negotiating after the race took place, but the BRDC had to enforce the clause in the contract to ensure that Liberty didn't go back on their word, claiming that they were going to hold the BRDC to the terms of the existing contract.
Liberty should have dealt with this matter months ago, out of the gaze of the public. They chose instead to insist that they had a valid and legally binding contract with the BRDC which they weren't prepared to re-negotiate.
