Noble steps up legal action after Iceberg snubs lawsuit

It has issued a summons to inspect authors’ documents.

Noble Group took its quest to crack Iceberg Research a step further by filing a summons for discovery and inspection against alleged authors Arnaud Vagner & Enlighten Ace Limited.

Noble said that Vagner and Enlighten Ace have not responded to requests by the company's outside counsel to commence the discovery phase of the litigation by confirming their readiness to exchange the List of Documents.

The summons will compel Iceberg to file their Lists of Documents and allow inspection of all discovery documents.

Noble started legal proceedings against Vagner in March, roughly a month after an anonymous outfit calling itself Iceberg Research issued a scathing report that caused Noble’s share price to tumble to record lows.

Vagner is a resident in Hong Kong, while Enlighten Ace Ltd is a Seychelles company.
