The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has sought leave to file an omnibus motion that would limit expert testimony in its case against Ripple.
The plaintiff wants to limit the testimony to 10 experts retained by Ripple. An omnibus motion is a type of legal motion with multiple requests. Legal motions enable the parties to introduce or bring in other issues related to the case in a systematic manner.
The SEC has requested permission to write up to 120 pages. Ripple has not objected to the filing — so long as they are allowed to file a response that has the same page limit.
It is a contentious development in an already heated case that has frequently made the headlines. A decision on the motion is due on July 12.
У мају, СЕЦ поднесен to protect important documents related to the case. The court also одбијен an SEC motion to strike Ripple’s fair defense.

One Ripple lawyer claimed in April that the SEC would target crypto exchanges soon. It is unclear if this will actually happen, but the authority has been becoming more forceful with its actions.
