Motion For Reconsideration
Your Honor,
The witness has had 72 hours from your order to respond to actually respond to the questions, and has failed to do so. The common timeframe for requiring a response in the court is 48 hours, at most. There is no precedent for an individual to be granted 96 hours of time to respond to the court without having requested an extension. I am requesting the witness be held in contempt of court.
Request to Advance Trial
Your Honor, every day that goes by is another day my client is without access to his wrongfully frozen funds. If the Defendant refuses to answer questions as a witness, then to avoid dragging this trial out any further, I would request we move past this witness. I would request, however, that the court notes the failure of the Defendant to answer the questions.
Request to Call Witnesses
Given the failure of the witness to respond, the Plaintiff needs to call additional witnesses to better establish the case, that we would have otherwise been able to use the missing witness for.
As such, I am requesting the court add Oliver Spy, Nanicholls Nanicholls, and Nopuu Catenjoyer to the witness list, and issue a summons. These individuals can testify to the facts and necessity of the damages the Plaintiff is requesting.
Amendment to the Prayer Of Relief
Your Honor, this case was filed nearly a full month ago, and the Defendant’s own delays, including waiting to challenge the witness list and then failing to respond when ordered by the court, have increased the cost of representation for my client.
As such, it is my unfortunate responsibility to amend the prayer for relief one final time, to finalize the costs my client has accumulated and will continue to accumulate the longer this trial takes.
I have provided a fully updated prayer for relief for you here:
1) A ruling that Vanguard National Bank has committed a material breach of their contractual obligations, that orders the immediate unfreezing of the Plaintiff's assets and transfer to his person.
2) Compensatory damages in the amount of $10,000, to cover the harm incurred to the Plaintiff for being unable to access his funds for a week.
3) Special damages in the amount of $25,000, to cover the attorney's fees the Plaintiff would not have incurred without the Defendant's actions.
4) Payment by the Defendant of all court fees, including witness fees, incurred by the Plaintiff.
