Judge Andrews is to provide a summary judgment (Hearing in 9 days, 11/25) to decide if a jury is to hear ChanBond's case, that is, to allow this to go to trial.
Unquestionably, this is essential and the most vitally important next step. It's basically live or die.
"A motion for summary judgment (sometimes called an “MSJ”) is a request for the court to rule that the other party has no case, because there are no facts at issue. The party making the motion is claiming that either the case should not go before a jury at all, or a jury could only rule in favor of the moving party".
