Court to review redacted parts of notes in XRP Vs SEC case

In the notice, the defendants have mentioned that they have not reviewed the redacted portions of the notes. Meanwhile, the commission has even submitted unredacted versions of it to the court. As per Ripple, they are relying on the SEC’s representation of the notes and the court’s review.

The notes mentioned by both parties are the handwritten memos taken by SEC staff attending meetings between the commission and third parties. The notes reportedly hold the internal communications from meetings in 2014 and 2018.

The court needs to review those notes to find out whether related parts actually reflect the author’s own thinking or discussion among SEC staff during the meeting. However, the defendants have made it clear that based on the information available to them, they don’t want to challenge SEC’s redactions presently.
