Update on court proceedings Bidstack vs Azerion16 Nov 2023 11:19
Below summarises latest court proceeding that took place on 13/09/23. It looks like Azerion are struggling to make their case on that point as they are arguing they need to see the EA doc in order to make their defence but since the court refused they can’t see it, perhaps their case is relatively weak. Things looking positive for Bidstack claiming back the money they are owed plus damages. Following this Azerion would have had to provide their defence statement on October 25 so we cant be far off hearing a full update on the courts view and decision on the main case or possibly an out of court settlement.
