Re: Gold responds in some detail to allegations
Looks like we wait a while to hear the resolution of this matter. Both parties stipulated to postpone the hearing until December 21. This pushes the deadline for Leyser to respond to the motion to December 15th.
The reason they cited for pushing it back was to allow the deposition of both parties to take place first. This makes some sense from a legal perspective, since it will provide a lot more facts and will lock both sides into a more clear position. It will also make for more interesting reading for us, because Leyser will almost certainly quote stuff from Gold's deposition in his response. Gold's deposition is set for Nov 30 and Leyser's for December 1.
This last bit is pure personal speculation: Reading between the lines, it might also imply that there is some hope for settlement talks. Gold would presumably prefer to avoid another round of publicity that will almost certainly follow a ruling on the motion.
