I think Galadrial and partners have missed at least two other countercharges in their filing.
Yes, I'm talking about :
1) Racial discrimination--Hobbits belong to an obscure race against which many of the great powers of Middle-earth have shown a pattern of neglect, or even abuse (recall the history of Sauron's proxy attack on the Shire through his orc minions).
2) Discrimination against the disabled--Hobbits are stature-challenged or differently statured, whichever term happens to be more politically correct at the moment. I can't recall the exact name of the statute involved--something like the CIDA (Children of Iluvatar with Disabilities Act). Of course, since this stature issue is a racial characteristic, your client's opponents might challenge this charge on the basis that it is subsumed in the previous charge of racial discrimination.
DISCLAIMERS:
1) Since I am not licensed to practice law--nor likely ever to be, I hope-- the counter-plaintiffs should seek the advise and assistance of qualified legal counsel before acting on the above information.
2) Since what I've said is based entirely on a second-hand account of the events (which, as well, I read in a translation by yet another hand) I can offer no evidence worthy of the courtroom. (In other words, it would be a waste of time to subpoena me.)
(But if you recover any damages or otherwise find my information useful, I wouldn't mind an invitation to lunch at, say, the Caras Galadhon Cafe.)
