Sorry for the late response; was away on vacation.

The case was postponed because the court was unable to come up with
competent judges in time. The most obvious place to find people with the
necessary knowledge is the university. However, as people there don't
exactly like OKOKRIM very much, OKOKRIM would most likely strongly
object to selecting judges from the university.

The trial has now been rescheduled for the week starting December 9th.

December is also the deadline for EU member states to implement

That will surely put a damper on our victory celebration :/

MR. LEVY:  I'm sorry, your Honor. I actually have a technology expert
  with me. Would the Court like to or would they agree to hear a very
  brief statement on this point from that expert?
