He did as he refused to leave the plane.
it says 'no one may be denied boarding against his/her will until UA or other carrier personnel first ask for volunteers who will give up their reservations willingly in exchange for compensation as determined by UA. If there are not enough volunteers, other Passengers may be denied boarding involuntarily in accordance with UA’s boarding priority:'
Now it's a bit of a grey area if boarding still counts once you are on the plane I admit that.

I am with you on this one Sir C. He broke the conditions by refusing, I would like to see how he was behaving before cops dragged him off.
And I would imagine in such an industry legal matters and the best lawyers are something they are pretty expert at.
if they give him anything it will be gesture of good will.
