A hearing on a motion to modify the protective order governing an MDL in which Salesforce is accused of facilitating sex trafficking ended Friday with the presiding judge deciding he would review on a case-by-case basis the discovery the plaintiffs’ lawyers are seeking to use in other related litigation nationwide. Salesforce’s attorney Michael Raiff of Gibson Dunn said at one point in the hearing he felt he was being accused of committing fraud on the court, but the plaintiffs’ lawyers said that wasn’t the case.
