In the May 15 ruling, Analisa Torres rejected the shared agreement raised earlier this month. This consent has previously obtained the approval of the court to dissolve the permanent ban on RIPPLE and reduce civil punishment from $ 125 million to $ 50 million.
This measure was considered part of a continuous attempt to solve the legal battle for several years on charges of violating the Securities Law.
The court was imposed on the first punishment after the court found that it violated the securities law by selling securities that were not registered with RIPPLE to institutional investors.
In her order, Judge Torres stated that the request was inappropriate. It was presented as an agreement for agreement approval, but in reality it was a request for relief in the final decision of the court in August 2024.
These requests must comply with rules 60, which should be quite high in legal standards. In particular, in the final ruling, it shows the “exceptional situation” to justify the relief.
“By styling a movement for settlement approval, the parties do not solve the burden of emptying the ban and overcoming civil fines.
Judges pointed out that the parties did not cite rules 60 or did not meet demanding requirements.
Ripple was arrested by the decision in August 2024, and the institutional XRP sales were found to have formed an unregistered securities proposal, imposed a fine of $ 125 million, and prohibited the violation of the future related to the sales.
Rejection emphasized that “there is no change in Ripple’s victory in today’s order,” said Ripple, the chief lawyer of Ripple, while maintaining the penalty.
Alderoty focused on “procedural concerns with Ripple’s dismissal of Ripple’s cross Africer’s dismissal,” and made it clear that Ripple and SEC continued to resolve the case. He pointed out that he plans to visit the problem again with the court.
It has been updated to include the commentary of Ripple’s chief law officer, Stuart Alderoty.
