No, Meat had to fight his way back on his own. Almst impossible to take on these fat-cat giants in court I'd have thought when you've lost everything and simply have to get back on your feet and rebuild to support your family. Fortunately Meat had, and has, the guts to do this, as well as a talent no record company could own.
My recollection is that the settlement Meat finally accepted was late in the 90s .. and even last year Popovitch was still involved in litigation with them

It's sad that its such an oft-repeated story that some of the most ridiculously popular/successful ventures generate so little (relatively) for the people behind them.
