Overview
- Argentina filed an emergency motion seeking a stay of post‑judgment discovery, contempt‑related sanctions requests, and an April 21–23 evidentiary hearing while its appeal on the merits proceeds.
- The move follows a late‑February statement from the U.S. Department of Justice calling the discovery excessively intrusive and requesting to be heard at an April 16 session.
- In its filing, Argentina argues U.S. courts misapplied Argentine law and should consider forum non conveniens, warning of irreparable harm to state functions and external financing.
- The government says it has already produced over 115,000 pages of records, about 37 hours of testimony from seven senior officials, and data from personal devices including 800‑plus pages and 86 voice notes.
- Plaintiffs, including interests tied to Burford Capital in the Petersen/Eton Park case, continue to press enforcement through turnover or embargo remedies and motions to hold Argentina in contempt of court.
