In regrades to…..”error ridden submission”….After some due diligence……

Several strategic reasons might compel a plaintiff in an antitrust class action
RICO lawsuit to file an oversized response (95 pages) to a motion to stay pending arbitration, despite knowing the page limit is 45 pages:

1. Overwhelming the opponent and the court: A lengthy filing can be a tactic to overwhelm the opposing party with a massive volume of arguments and evidence, making it difficult for them to respond effectively within their own time and page constraints.

2. Comprehensive presentation of arguments: The plaintiff may believe a shorter filing would not allow them to adequately address the defendant's arguments against arbitrability or present their own counterarguments in sufficient detail. This might be especially true in complex antitrust and RICO cases involving intricate factual and legal issues.

3. Showcasing the strength of their case: A comprehensive and well-supported response can demonstrate the plaintiff's commitment and the perceived strength of their case, possibly influencing the court's perception of the merits of their claims.

4. Seeking a waiver of the page limit: The plaintiff may be implicitly or explicitly requesting the court to grant a waiver of the page limit, arguing that the complexity of the case necessitates a longer filing, according to WordRake.

5. Drawing attention to specific facts or legal issues: A lengthy response might be used to highlight specific facts or legal arguments that the plaintiff believes are critical to the court's decision, hoping to ensure they are fully considered despite the arbitration clause.

6. Potentially seeking leverage for negotiation: The oversized filing could be part of a broader strategy to exert pressure on the defendant, potentially encouraging them to reconsider their motion to stay or potentially explore alternative dispute resolution options or settlement discussions.
