"However, you will have the same problem with DOT as you will in court. In order to collect IDB, you must have been at the gate no later than T-10. You say you were. WN says you weren't. Unless you've got some external proof (not sure what that would be), this is a he said/she said and you're going to lose."

Not necessarily. In a he said/she said situation at a trial, the finder of fact could well decide that one witness is more credible than the other. If the plaintiff in a civil suit is found more credible, then the plaintiff can prevail in such a case.
