[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does this actually help Lively?  I thought Lively wanted to hold fast to tomorrow' dep so that Baldoni's team would have to scramble to get the dep together after they had barely two weeks to review all the docs.  Garofalo wanted to postpone it and Gottlieb threatened sanctions so I don't think Gottlieb wanted this, honestly.

Is it purely that Wallace wouldn't be able to join the dep if he were no longer a party, and then if he were back to being a party two weeks from now, he'd get to depose her again briefly, for, like, an hour?  I almost think it would have been better to proceed with the dep by Wayfarer and have Wallace do a separate add on later if needed, for an hour.

If this were me, I'd just want to get it over with, but ymmv.[/quote]

I posted last week that I speculated that Lively actually did want additional time to review the video footage, but that neither Lively nor Wayfarer wanted to be the one to ask (we still don't know for sure if they ever provided the video with audio because the email chain that we saw went stale after that was brought up). My vibe was they're saying they're ready but kept throwing up roadblocks, like location.

From the twitter chain, it sounds like Gottlieb is the one that wanted this hearing, though oddly there is no motion requesting this. I agree with your second paragraph, I just don't see the big deal for her sitting for a short deposition by Babcock upon showing of "good cause" (which obviously being added back as a party would be).

The Wayfarer and Wallace sides certainly have the right to resent this after Lively's counsel whined last week that they had already made travel plans for Thursday, meanwhile Babcock said he was calling in from DFW airport and some of Baldoni's attorneys were mid-flight.[/quote]
