Stay Lifted, Novell Vs. SCO Can Go Forward

Posted by kdawson on from the please-turn-to-chapter-seven dept.

A number of readers suggest we check out Groklaw, where PJ is reporting that a bankruptcy judge has granted Novell's request to lift the stay so that its trial against SCO can proceed in Utah. The judge concluded that Judge Kimball is the best one to decide how much SCO owes Novell, and that SCO cannot make any "reorganization" plans — including any "fire sale" of assets — until it knows this figure.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

    Yes, he's lifting the stay, much like one would lift the active portion of a guillotine.

  3. SCO's next step? by Iphtashu+Fitz · · Score: 4, Funny
    Trying to derail the main case by running to bankruptcy court failed. So what's next?
    • Try to sidetrack the case in traffic court by claiming IBM jaywalked in front of the bankruptcy court?
    • File a motion to move everything to small claims court since by the end of this all they'll likely have less than $2,000 in their pocket?
    • Risk moving the whole thing in front of Judge Judy and hope to confuse her?
