[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you guys think Wayfarer will respond today about the deposition protective order? If they don't I assume tomorrow AM Liman will issue an order for Lively. I don't see why this was such an emergency that he needed to set a very short weekend deadline.[/quote]

Lively’s lawyers asked Liman to request Baldoni’s response be put on an expedited schedule, given that the deposition is on Thursday.

I’m sure Baldoni’s team will respond, though I’m not sure what they’ll say.  I think they will say that as the attys taking the dep, they get to pick the place, and nothing Lively’s team has said overcomes that presumption. Maybe they will try to distinguish the vin diesel example because there was an actual (supposed) death threat. I think they will address the Freedman statements head on somehow and say these kinds of out of court statements are allowed. And maybe they will say something like Lively is not required to know in advance exactly who will be deposing her.

I can see Liman allowing the dep to proceed at Freedman’s firm if it could be assured that it will not be a circus or other media event, but if not I think Liman will allow Lively’s firm to host. Crazy the lawyers have to fight about this. [/quote]

PP. I feel like the date is not set in stone. It's a date they can change at will. Reading between the lines, both sets of attorneys would not mind postponing it (definitely Wayfarer wants to, and I think Lively also wants more time to review the video) but nobody wants to be the one to say it, because there will be media reports that one side chickened out. If I were Liman, I'd make them meet and confer again and figure it out. Regarding Lively not being required to know who is deposing her, true, and if I were Wayfarer I would give a very long list of any possible attorney or support staff and all the Wayfarer defendants who might potentially be there, to allay the concern that Perez Hilton will show up, or something, if that's the concern.

Actually at this point they should just reschedule, because the date and time are known, and even though Lively got all cute by redacting all "your office" and "our office" in the last submission (including the state they have to fly to, gee, what a mystery that is), those were already unredacted in the prior submissions by Wayfarer. Whichever office is picked, the paparazzi will already know where to go... having it at Lively's lawyers doesn't actually protect her from a media frenzy. And I wouldn't be that surprised if any East Coast content creators tried to show up to get attention for themselves. [/quote]
