Mojang's new lawyers respond
Mojang's legal department has shown their first sign of life since the last talks, where they've parted ways with CMS Wistrand for a new law firm, Roschier, and are asking the court to dismiss the lawsuit & for a minimum of 5 weeks to respond, without appearing to have seen the filings.
Hello @everyone
Mojang’s legal department has now formally shown their first sign of life since our last talks. Most interestingly, they seem to have parted ways with their previous law firm CMS Wistrand and got a new law firm, Roschier.com, with what seems to be two lawyers and two juniors/assistants.
They don’t appear to have access to the filings nor its annexes based on their communication to the court which is rather interesting given that they claim that the conditions for a class action lawsuit have not been fulfilled and thus ask for it to be dismissed; without even seeing the filings in the first place lmao
Here is the translation to their message received today (original swedish pdf attached):

Hello,
We represent Mojang AB ("Mojang"). A power of attorney will be sent shortly to the court.
We have been made aware of a lawsuit being raised against Mojang in court and that the plaintiff (as in us, defendant would be mojang) has requested that the lawsuit be processed as a class action lawsuit according to law (2002:599) regarding class action proceedings. Furthermore, we have also been made aware of the court having sent a clarification order to the plaintiff to clarify and complete the the lawsuit and that the plaintiff has submitted a response to this clarification order. (Note, clarification order / föreläggande is when the court requests for us to answer some questions, details of that are in a previous announcement)
From Mojang's understanding at this point in time, it would appear that the lawsuit, due to multiple reasons (that they didnt cite lmao), does not fulfill the requirements according to section 8 of the class action proceedings law and should therefore be dismissed(/thrown out). It is also unclear at this time whether the court has jurisdiction over the whole or part of the groups claims. Mojang furthermore claims that out of a cost and resource point of view, it would be appropriate to address the question about whether the procedural circumstances fulfill the necessary requirements before the claims are addressed. (Basically they want the court to clarify whether we do pass the criteria to pass as a class action lawsuit before addressing the claims, since their approach right now is to try to do everything in their power to get is dismissed/rejected).
Mojang is aware that the court has not issued the lawsuit, but asks for the court to provide us with all documents that the plaintiff has submitted up to this point, including the lawsuit filings and any relevant annexes or documents.
Mojang believes that the company needs a minimum of 5 weeks to give their opinions on the lawsuit's permissibility to the court. If the court, despite Mojang's request as defined above, should determine that Mojang should leave a complete answer to the claims, the company would require even more time.
We are available if you have any questions,
Best regards,
Jens SandbergNow, given that the court hasn’t had any further issues with the filings, has been satisfied with the answers we provided and literally begun collecting the group participants opt-in consents, we believe that the court has already kind of preliminarily agreed that there’s are no problems; we’ll see what the courts response is to this.
We haven’t yet given our point of view to what they just said, but those “minimum 5 weeks” is probably something we will fight on the basis that they’ve already asked for this kind of time extension before with their previous legal representatives and are fully aware of both the claims and circumstances; having already addressed them and given their response, with the meaning that asking for this much time is unreasonable specifically when “minimum” isn’t clearly defined and would probably be unreasonably extended.
Exciting times! We soon get to see Mojang’s mental gymnastics caught in 4k, and you better believe that those mental gymnastics will be subject to the public’s anger.
