Could it all have been planned, with that lawyer agreeing to whatever sanctions, punishments, etc. ahead of time; perhaps for some recompense later?

Seems unlikely. This could lose Google some money in the long run but doesn't seem to be a major blow against them. Plus it seems like a petty move with no real upside for Oracle as a company, as opposed to if it was a personal argument between two people for which emotional vindication could be a motive.

Oh, plus a lawyer would be risking his entire career too.
