AutoZone Trial Set for August 10, 2010 [Hardy Har] – Updated

“What the judge has done is administrative. Early on, the judge
always sets up a schedule. But you saw in the IBM case, that
doesn’t at all mean that anyone will stick to the schedule. That
trial was originally scheduled for April of 2005, but it hasn’t
happened yet. In this case, I seriously doubt SCO v. AutoZone will
ever go to trial. The judge has also ordered that the case is now
referred to a magistrate judge to set up a settlement conference
prior to May 31, 2010, which is also in the realm of fantasy. I
mean, they might meet, but I don’t expect SCO management to ever
settle anything. Of course, if SCO gets a trustee in bankruptcy
court, that would alter the landscape significantly. Trustees are
not known for litigation-at-all-costs fever.”
