`
`RE:
`
`TransPerfect Global, Inc.,
`C.A. Nos. 9700-CM, 10449-CM (Del. Ch.)
`
`Dear Chancellor McCormick:
`
`I write on behalf of Robert B. Pincus, Esquire regarding the
`
`Court’s April 30, 2021 Order in the above-referenced actions, requiring
`
`Mr. Pincus to submit any fee petition that he intends to make for fees
`
`and expenses incurred in February 2021 and/or March 2021 by Saturday,
`
`
`
`EFiled: May 12 2021 02:22PM EDT
`Transaction ID 66594661
`Case No. Multi-Case
`
`
`
`The Honorable Kathaleen St. J. McCormick

`
`
`
`
`
`May 15, 2021. (Dkt. 16051 (the “April 30 Order”))2 We are in the
`
`process of preparing the petition for fees and expenses incurred during
`
`those periods (the “Petition”), including incorporating guidance from the
`
`Court’s April 30 opinion (Dkt. 1604), and will submit the Petition no
`
`later than May 15, 2021.
`
`We wanted to advise the Court about a scheduling matter. Under
`
`the discharge order that the Court entered on April 14, 2021, Mr. Pincus
`
`is required to provide TransPerfect Global, Inc. (the “Company”) with a
`
`copy of the billing records with respect to any payment sought and an
`
`affidavit containing the information described by the Court during the
`
`hearing held on March 2, 2021. (Dkt. 1601 (the “Discharge Order”) ¶ 7)
`
`In accordance with that directive, we will be providing the billing
`
`records and affidavit to counsel for the Company shortly.
`
`
`1 Citations to “Dkt.” refer to docket C.A. No. 9700-CM.
`
`2 On March 2, 2021, the Court instructed Mr. Pincus not to submit any
`further fee petitions until the Court resolved the pending fee petitions.
`(Dkt. 1600 at 7, n.16)
`
`
`
`
`
`The Honorable Kathaleen St. J. McCormick
`May 12, 2021
`Page 3
`
`
`
`
`
`The Discharge Order also requires that the parties attempt to
`
`resolve any dispute over the fees and expenses sought “within fifteen
`
`business days” of when Mr. Pincus provides the billing records and
`
`affidavit to the Company. (Id.) Unfortunately, Mr. Pincus does not
`
`anticipate a consensual resolution regarding the fees and expenses,
`
`particularly in light of the positions that the Company has taken and its
`
`stated intent to appeal the April 30 Order; nevertheless, Mr. Pincus will
`
`attempt to engage in a meet and confer to resolve any disputes.
`
`We note that the Discharge Order states that Mr. Pincus may file
`
`with the Court a petition for fees and expenses “[i]f the matter is not
`
`resolved within such fifteen-day period.” (Id. (emphasis added))
`
`However, the fifteenth business day after April 30th is May 21st, six (6)
`
`days after the deadline established by the April 30 Order for submitting
`
`the Petition. As such, Mr. Pincus will be submitting the Petition no later
`
`than the date set forth in the April 30 Order – May 15, 2021 – even
`
`though the parties may not have had an opportunity to meet and confer
`
`by May 15th.
`
`
`
`
`
`The Honorable Kathaleen St. J. McCormick
