It is just rules and think about this...in document #75.1 Judge Victoria M. Calvert gave Vennwest until February 28th 2024 to complete the discovery. Now with each party slapping each other will the Judge act or lay back until February then slap Vennwest or HDC....onward to Royal Castle, right?
No, I don't think so, King Oil. I believe that this whole matter will be wrapped up fairly soon. The court will probably decide that there has been enough foot dragging, and go ahead and rule on the defense's motion for a summary judgement.
