It's interesting that you can be "punished" by a judge in the EU for making a last minute request. This is considered standard practice in the US because it gives your opponents less time to organize or respond.

EU? This lawsuit is taking place in the states (CA).

If you read the article you’ll see the judges explanation as to why last minute was not acceptable.

Maybe read the ruling? Apart from being in the US, Apple misrepresented their progress over multiple status reports, and then last minute acted like they need more time. Lets maybe not give the lawyers of trillion-dollar companies the benefit of the doubt when they are employing obvious delay tactics, shall we?

They didn’t punish them for making a last minute request. They just told them no.

Funny you would say that, because this court case is taking place in the US, not in the EU.

  Yeah, I thought another comment mentioned it was in the EU and read the article with that in mind. Good thing there's ten different people to gently inform me of that.

Leaving aside that this is clearly a case in the Northern District of California, no; that sort of thing is what gets discovery special masters appointed to keep you in line in the first place, and this ruling appears to be a discovery special master keeping a party in line.

You're talking about filing documents and arguments the other side has to respond to. The courts do NOT have patience for last-minute requests to bend procedure, because the side making a request wasn't acting in good faith. This isn't previously-unknown evidence being suddenly discovered. How many documents Apple has about this and how long it would take to go through them is stuff they could have known, should have known before this week.
