SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 3 – A Chinese investor has filed a lawsuit in the United States seeking a target's banking information while leaving its name redacted.
On April 1, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Denise L. Cote held a telephonic proceeding. Inner City Press called in to cover it.
The Chinese investment firm's lawyer stopped talking and said, I think some one else joined.
Judge Cote replied, correctly, that it is an open proceeding. There followed some carefully worded arguments about a parallel UK case, and allegations of fraudulent transfers.
Judge Cote maintained sealing for now, with supplemental briefing due April 5 and proposed redactions by April 13.
The case is ABC v. DEF, 22-cv-2398 (Cote)
