Paramount Demands $1.88B Bond From States and WGA in WBD Merger Delay Case
Paramount Skydance renewed its court demand that 12 states and the WGA post a $1.88 billion bond to cover financial consequences of pausing its Warner Bros. deal while antitrust suits proceed. Judge Martinez-Olguin set a March 2, 2027 trial start. The filing cites the Clayton Act and Rule 65(c), while opponents argue courts have discretion due to public-interest claims.
