Well, to be fair, suing has a long and storied Americas Cup tradition.
New Zealand sued to challenge Dennis Conner off cycle, and when Conner pitted a cat against a mono hull, New Zealand sued again.

Wasn't that in reaction to the previous America's cup challenge where the Australians introduced a winged keel that had previously been disallowed from 3-meter boat competitions? IIRC, both were allowed because the charter gave the challenger the power to set constraints.
