Discoveries and Summary Judgment
The first round of discoveries in these matters were completed in October, 2017. Numerous undertakings, advisements, and refusals remain that both the Plaintiffs and Defendants need to address and on which the parties are currently working. If necessary, the Plaintiffs will bring a motion for an Order that the Defendants answer necessary and relevant questions.
After completing the first phase of discoveries, Western Union advised that it intends to bring a motion for summary judgment. This anticipated motion is in the very early stages of being organized. If the motion were to proceed, it will likely be in the last half of 2018.
