, it became apparent that Ziffren actually had plenty of time – a fact that was seemingly not communicated to the other side and the court in a timely fashion. Hence, a fact that got under the skin of AMC’s lead outside counsel Orin Snyder and really pissed off Judge Buckley.
“Bottom line, whether this trial goes one more, day, one more week or 20 days, we can’t have that, it has to be upfront candor with me,” the LASC judge reprimanded Nessim after challenging the embarrassed lawyer on when he knew that Ziffren could stay longer on the bench trial’s opening day and even appear today if necessary.
All of which was not a good look for the plaintiff’s side in front of Buckley on a day with almost all eyes on the clock and the calendar. Later, the attorneys on both sides sparked off again over AMC’s desire to kept what they claim are trade secrets and budget numbers out of the public eye, even though the figures in mind are from 2011. In court, AMC changed their mind on the nine year old figures, but wanted to make sure that 2012 – 2020 numbers were not automatically included.
“No disrespect to Mr. Ziffren and his long career, but contacts mean what they say,” declared Snyder in a summation statement to the court after Ziffren had left the stand just before 11 AM today. “Mr. Ziffren acknowledged that the imputed license fee was in bold font and no one objected,” the Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher attorney also said. “Mr. Ziffren testified and counsel’s interpretation of the case is that no one ever agreed to MAGR.
