Default Superformance emergency brake question

About a week ago, I posted about a friend trying to sell a deceased relative's Superformance SPO2479. He had to drive it from his relative's house to his since the house is for sale also and, not being familiar with the car, he didn't notice the emergency brake handle and drove it the entire way with the emergency brake on. Now, the brake doesn't work - actually, since he's never driven the car before, he's not sure if it worked before the drive. I've offered to take a look at it but my car is not a Superformance so I'm not familiar with the emergency brake mechanism. The only information I have is in the car's description - "All Superformance MKIIIs come standard with aluminum Limited Slip Differentials and Power Disc 4 Piston Wilwood Brakes". Any advice on what was most likely damaged and what I should look for (other than common sense looking at the mechanism and figuring it out)? All he can tell me is that he can hear the ratcheting mechanism but no resistance to the handle. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Kevin
