Ripple (XRP) achieves its biggest win yet against the SEC in an unexpected turn of events


March 13, 2022 · By Muhammad Awwal
XRP (XRP)

The SEC’s move to strike out Ripple’s fair notice defense was denied by Judge Analisa Torres, a United States District Judge, on Friday, giving Ripple yet another crucial victory.

Last April, the SEC filed a motion to dismiss Ripple’s make-or-break fair notice defense, which sought to have the court compel the SEC to provide some information through a discovery order and prove that the agency ‘provided Ripple with fair notice that its distributions of XRP  – since 2013 – would be prohibited under the securities law’ 

If allowed, Ripple’s motion would attempt to show that the SEC was aware of what it now claims to be a regulatory mistake in April.

SEC argued that Ripple’s request should be dismissed at the pleadings stage because it is a “legally insufficient defence on which Ripple cannot prevail as a matter of law.” In an attempt to enhance its case motion, the agency also wrote to the court and attached some regulations. 

If you weren’t paying attention then, you should be now. Huge win for Ripple today! https://t.co/dMeUQuIPHM

As a result, the court determined on Friday that the SEC had failed to persuade it to strike down Ripple’s fair notice of affirmative defense by failing to cite case law where this had been done at the pleadings stage. Furthermore, the agency failed to prove that the continuation of Ripple’s fair notice claim would cause it “undue prejudice.”

In that case, the court was convinced that the SEC was on a mission to use delay tactics by lengthening the time, cost, and complexity of the case before it could go to full trial, leading to the decision to deny the SEC’s request.

The order was as follows, “The Court shall not conclude, at this early stage of the case, that Ripple’s defense is invalid. Accordingly, the SEC’s motion to strike Ripple’s fair notice affirmative defense is DENIED.”

However, given that the court has also refused a twin request filed in April by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and co-founder Chris Larsen to dismiss the action, the matter will now move to a full hearing, which would be a blow to the individual defendants.

“Today’s order makes it clear there’s a serious question whether the SEC ever provided Ripple with fair notice that its distributions of XRP – since 2013 – would ever be prohibited under the securities law” – Ripple’s general counsel, Stuart Alderoty commented following the order. 

The Ripple case, which was filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission in December 2020, has been a thorn in the side for XRP investors who remain hopeful that the two sides will reach a settlement without going to full trial, or, better yet, that the trial will be completed in the shortest amount of time possible.
