Groklaw's reporters who attended the SCO bankruptcy hearing on the 27th reported that SCO portrayed Hans Bayer as not an officer of the company and not authorized to speak for SCO about the unXis deal. As a result, some emails by Bayer about the proposed sale to unXis were stricken from the record. I'll show you in a minute why SCO was so eager to have the emails stricken.

I view the bankruptcy hearings at this point as comic relief, since nothing goes the way any of us here think they should. Bankruptcy court seems like cartoon court to me. So, when I heard that the December 2009 hearing transcript [PDF] was available, I said, Oh, goody! It doesn't disappoint.

Tomorrow's bankruptcy hearing has been cancelled. This is the one that was about signing off on some fees billed to SCO, the one I told you probably was worth skipping. I gather the court agreed. Why pay lawyers to show up for a hearing on something that isn't opposed by anyone?

Bankruptcy court gets more and more weird. Today's scheduled hearing in SCO's bankruptcy was cancelled at the last minute. No one told the U.S. Trustee's Office, I gather, since our reporter showed up and so did that office's representative.

The SCO bankruptcy plods right along. I predicted that the SCO bankruptcy hearing on SCO's First Omnibus Objections to Claims would be short, sweet, and simple, and the minutes of the hearing [PDF] indicate that is exactly how it went. We'll know more when the transcript is made public, but the

I don't have details yet, but here's the first report from today's bankruptcy court hearing on SCO's motion to extend its exclusive right to file a reorganization plan, which Novell had filed objections to:

Here's our first taste of what is happening in the SCO bankruptcy hearing. Mr. Spector is dancing up a storm. IBM and Novell are just trying to kill SCO off, he says. This is a great deal and the sale should go forward. Everyone will get paid.

I've been listening to the audio of the November 20, 2009 hearing in the SCO bankruptcy, and I'd like to share with you more details and clarifications about what happened, as I said I would.

So, the hearing minutes from today's bankruptcy hearing are posted, and it appears (comparing it with the Notice of Agenda) that SCO got an extension to the end of the year to exclusively file a reorganization plan, and it also got the stock options declared "in the normal course" and the quarterly bills were approved.
