Apple, Psystar move to set trial date |
An advance out-of-court settlement in the dispute between Apple and Psystar is now unlikely to happen, filings show. The two companies have been involved in a process called Alternative Dispute Resolution, designed to avoid the time and cost of a court battle; both corporations are recently, however, said to have asked a judge to authorize a proposed court schedule, in which fact discovery would end in late June of next year, and a trial would be set for November 9th. Actual dates could vary substantially."The Parties do not believe that this type of case can be handled on an expedited basis with streamlined procedures," the filing reads. Psystar lawyer Colby Springer may have hinted at this decision in late October, when he insisted that ADR was merely a mandatory process, and that no peaceful solution to the lawsuit was at hand. |
