The District Court of Connecticut agreed to remain all the deadlines for mechanical negligence against interactive media.
The order was signed by Judge Alvin W. Thompson on August 19, 2025.
The order provides a proposal from the Contracting Parties in this case, who jointly requested that “the court suspendes all the deadlines of the planning order in accordance with the settlement by agreeing to agreed terms between the plaintiff and the defendants”.
Let us remind you that, in this lawsuit, Robert Scott Batchelar blames interactive brokers, LLC of negligent design of his software, so that an automatic clearance of positions in his account costs him thousands of dollars more than he should.
Batchelar launched this lawsuit in December 2015, filed a complaint claiming claims for breach of contract, negligence and commercially irrational clearance of promises. Batchelar states that the current theory of his responsibility is that the automatic moisture software of interactive brokers was designed, coded, maintained and used to allow for a clearing transaction less favorable to the customer than the terms of clearing transaction.
The interactive brokers have been moved for a protective series that excludes the deposition of Thomas Peterffy. On July 17, 2025, the court denied the proposal.
