WTF is Foreign Legal Action?!

[Avatar99]

My capitol city has "Production halted due to foreign legal action." What the heck is that? And how do I stop it? The instructions mention nothing about this. Or if they do, they're rather vague and misleading....

another civ is stopping your production with a stealth unit
(lawyer, corporate branch, etc.)

move one of your lawyers near the city and you will be able to see the enemy

(if you don't have a lawyer, you could walk one of your units around the city until you run into the enemy)

A foreign country has used the lawyer unit to file an injunction against you. You can hunt for the lawyer by moving units around your city until you find him by bumping into him (lawyers are invisible). If you build a lawyer, you can see enemy lawyers. Corporate Franchises and Spies can also see enemy lawyers. Your lawyers and sue (special attack) enemy lawyers to destroy them. Otherwise, attack them as you would normal units once you find them. However, attacking lawyers is an act of war.

And here I was thinking that attacking lawyers was an act of public service. . .
