While we previously covered Apple's dissatisfaction with its new court-appointed monitor, a more thorough reading of Apple's complaint reveals deep seated concerns the company has with Michael Bromwich, and perhaps, with Judge Denise Cote herself.
Broadly speaking, Apple takes issue with the fact that Bromwich is charging over US$1,000 for an hour of his time and is seemingly seeking to broaden the scope of what his duties entail.
What's more, Apple's complaint expresses concern that Bromwich may be holding ex parte discussions with Cote.
