Business Paramount-WBD: Emergency Motions, A Showdown Hearing And Next Steps

If you want an early indication of the strength of a dozen states’ effort to stop Paramount’s proposed acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery, it will come soon. That’s because California Attorney General Rob Bonta and 11 of his colleagues filed a motion for a request for emergency relief, or a request for temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. If granted, a TRO would put a halt to the $110 billion transaction for at least a couple weeks, while a preliminary injunction would go longer as the legal process plays out.
