Nothing to do with an Oxford comma, sadly. The OC is the superfluous comma
inserted by ruffians and ne'er-do-wells, in a list of three or more items,

Given the absence of the comma, the plaintiffs have a case. Given the lack of a
serial comma, the sentence can be read two ways, so the very literate judge
made a correct decision.
