The magistrate has set October 17 as the start of the trial which must decide whether or not the entrepreneur is forced to buy the social network for 44 billion dollars as he announced at the end of April.

Kathaleen McCormick, president of a tribunal specializing in business law, had already decided that the trial would take place in October and would last five days. She detailed in a document released Thursday evening deadlines for various procedures, in the run-up to a trial scheduled to take place from October 17 to 21.
