This is just a delaying tactic by SM Entertainment.Yes, it will really take quite a long time for SME to provide the courts
ALL the documents that pertain to TVXQ profits, but for the meantime, it is not impossible for them to just provide a
sample of documents for the courts to validate whether they have properly distributed profit to their talents.
For instance, they can provide the court TVXQ's two most recent activities/profit ventures. The court and its appointed auditor can run tests on it and see whether they have sufficiently and proportionately shared the profits to the boys. Whatever bases they used in that recent profit sharing should be enough for the court to obtain valid judgment. The court will know if the bases they used are correct and legally acceptable. The court will also know whether the basis is constant (which is the legal procedure).
Thus, SME's legal stand on the matter is inexcusable. Their company may be private, but their books should be open to public. Trade secrets will not be revealed by opening their accounting books to public. BUT! Their unacceptable accounting procedures, specifically their procedures in profit sharing, will be revealed and this would only alarm tax authorities and other business governing bodies.
I read that the court has not yet answered SME's appeal re: insufficient time to provide needed documents. I hope that this delay will not prolong TVXQ's hiatus. I know that the boys said that this would not lead to disbanding. But how are they to continue if SME would put them on hold? They could all ask to terminate their contracts with SME. But they can't be TVXQ anymore. Remember that SME has already applied for patent on the TVXQ brand name? Haiz! I think, even if I don't want to, this is going to be a looooong legal battle.
