Prominent Lawyer Jeremy Hogan Shares Insights on Appeals in Ripple vs. SEC Case
Jeremy Hogan, a partner at Hogan & Hogan and experienced in handling appeals, provides valuable insights on the possibility of appeals in the ongoing Ripple vs. SEC case. Here are the key points:
- Timing of Appeals: Appeals typically occur after a case is completely finished, but the Ripple case is still ongoing.
- Interlocutory Appeals: Without a final judgement, an appeal of Judge Torres’ Order would be considered an “interlocutory appeal.” These appeals are not commonly granted.
- Regular Appeals: Parties have the right to a “regular” appeal, which would take place after the trial and post-trial motions, following the entry of a final judgement.
- Likelihood of Appeals: While opinions vary, most attorneys anticipate the SEC appealing the case. However, Hogan personally believes that neither party will pursue an appeal.
- Challenges of Appeals: Winning appeals can be challenging, and Judge Torres’ thorough review of the record may limit the chances of success.
Hot Take: Given the ongoing nature of the case and the potential challenges of winning an appeal, it is unlikely that either party will pursue an appeal in the Ripple vs. SEC case.
