From TV Guide --
THE LAST COURSE: NBC has decided to dump the remaining episodes of The Restaurant on a night when most people will be holed up in a real restaurant. Episodes 4 and 5 will air this Saturday at 8 and 9 pm/ET, respectively, and the series finale will run on Saturday, June 5 at 8 pm/ET.

Not to get into idle gossip --

This is what happens when there is no one to root for on a tv show. I will watch it if ends up on CourtTV.
No doubt that will be remedied by the addition of Ted McGinley as the "D."

Apparently instead of preparing the shark over the grill, Rocco and Jeffrey decided to jump it instead.

I feel that even the Court Case, that still proceeding even after the shooting of the televisions 6 episodes have been completed will eventually go nowhere, considering the speed of New York Courts until you face the Judge is measured in years not months. The Judge require that every attempt to settle this matter be exhausted before actually hearing the case.
If all the allegations had any merit it would result in various types of Bankruptcy before getting that far since time is a reality not a television series.
With respect to the legal issues, it is likely that something gets to state court sooner than later. If the lawsuit related to past events, it would take years. However, if they are fighting over day to day control, they will likely be in court when one side decides to try to kick the other out immediately or if there are issues of handling the money.
As for bankruptcy, is the restaurant a separate entity? Who holds the debt? If it is just a lost investment of JC, or continuing losses of his investment funds, bankruptcy would do not good at all. Bankruptcy is basically to reorganize debt, not reorganize investments or ownership. It is speculation, but for something like this, the major lender is probably a bank with a security interest in the real estate. Bankruptcy won't help that either, and most likely they are being paid.
That aside, what I see is one person who wants the glory without the effort of managing, and one person who is an expert at managiang and making money. On paper, it seems like a great team. If Rocco could have a chance at having a restaurant with his name on it, show up when he wants, have no real responsibilities, and basically be a celebrity, what is he holding out for as the restaurant is going down the tubes?

The computer says it was Thursday, the 4th. No month is shown, but it would make it December '03 (or September, but that doesn't fit because of the review, and the heavy coats).
