Recently, the litigation between Ripple and the SEC was buzzed by the latest developments when Judge Netburn ordered both parties to submit additional case notes by December 8 at the Defendants’ duress petition, citing a November 29 U.S. Court of Appeals ruling in an unrelated case. regarding DPP.
As attorney Jeremy Hogan explains, the Court of Appeals (which is in charge of the Ripple Court and the SEC) has just issued an opinion that slightly changes the law regarding what is protected by the deliberative process privilege (DPP).
