The Ripple lawsuit is going as planned for the US SEC as it has officially filed the Civil Appeal Pre-argument statement (Form C)

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially filed the Civil Appeal pre-argument statement (Form C) in its ongoing lawsuit with Ripple Labs Inc. This filing comes amid confusion in the broader community regarding the market regulator's missed deadline to file Form C.

The SEC versus Ripple securities lawsuit is one that came with a lot of controversies. After Judge Torres ordered Ripple to pay a $125 million penalty in August, many thought the case would end there.

However, the regulator filed a Notice of Appeal to contest the ruling. At the time, no one knew the aspect of the lawsuit the US SEC planned to appeal. With this Form C filing, the regulator noted that it want to contest the summary judgment or the decision of the court in general.
