Chris Brown just got home from the hearing in SCO v. Novell, and he says it went well. His longer report will come after he can type it up, but as expected the judge took it under advisement. No. Boies didn't argue for SCO. Chris:I've just gotten home from today's hearings in the SCO v. Novell
case. Long day, hot courtroom. Ok, only 3 hours but it felt longer.
No surprise here, but Judge Kimball has taken it under advisement. No
rulings from the bench.
Regarding the last minute expert declarations, at Judge Kimball's
request they were neither used in argument nor rebutted. ... Today's
hearing was a "good one" and well worth the read. Not that my report
will be all that great. The good stuff is hard to capture. As always
Novell's Michael Jacobs was fascinating to listen to. He's easygoing,
good-humored, and sharp-as-a-tack.
Jacobs argued for Novell on the first two motions with Edward
Normand arguing those for SCO. The last motion (Breach of
Contract/Unfair Competition) was argued by Novell's Grant Kim and SCO's
Brent Hatch. So, as soon as he sends the rest, we'll find out the details. If you have questions for Chris, ask away. Update: Chris' report is in and we have a second eyewitness account. |
