In line with the submitting supplied by CryptoLawUS, the plaintiffs famous that extension will grant each the events ample time to arrange rebuttal stories and depose a minimal of 14 professional witnesses. Nonetheless, Ripple doesn’t totally conform to the SEC’s plea.
As per the filing,
“Ripple consents to an extension of the rebuttal report deadline till November 12, however opposes the January 14 deposition deadline, as set forth under.”
Whereas Ripple agreed with the extension of the rebuttal report deadline, it didn’t agree to increase the deposition deadline. Following which the SEC proposed one other deadline of twenty-two December, however the agency didn’t conform to it both. In actual fact, Ripple was submitting an opposition for a similar on 18 October.

“[…] extending the professional discovery schedule past December 10, 2021—a date Ripple claims would supply ample time for the events to finish a minimal of 14 professional depositions in 18 enterprise days, given the Thanksgiving vacation—“would doubtless affect the briefing schedule for abstract judgment movement[s].”
Nonetheless, the SEC disagrees that 14-days had been sufficient to conduct the deposition of 14 consultants whereas sustaining its stance that the extension will “not have an effect on some other deadlines on this case.” The SEC pointed on the delay from Ripple’s finish within the manufacturing of responsive paperwork and has not provided a set date to finish the identical.
