In an interview with Litigation Daily, Reback says he expects the settlement, which was recently revised, will go back to the drawing board for a third round.
Reback says he thinks the changes in 2.0, which were submitted to Judge Denny Chin on November 13, haven’t satisfied the issues raised by the Department of Justice.
Litigation Daily: Was this, then, a calculated gamble that Judge Chin would approve the settlement over the Justice Department’s concerns?
Reback: They just tried to shoot for the moon. When they don’t get that, we’ll get version three. You have to remember that Google is continuing to scan. What’s the downside for them if this drags on?
