I suspect the goal is to get an out of court settlement figuring it is cheaper to just pay out than to go thru the expense of defending the case.
The only problem is that the attorneys are in-house and are getting paid either way, so might as well put them to work.
If they get free tickets to the buffet (don't settle for the breakfast one, insist on dinner) they should be happy.
