A judge presiding over challenges to Google Inc.'s plans to create the world's largest digital library says he will not delay the case while Google appeals his decision granting authors class certification.
Judge Denny Chin issued an order Wednesday in Manhattan federal court. In May, he ruled class action was "more efficient and effective" than requiring thousands of authors to sue individually.
The Mountain View-Calif.-based Google appealed the ruling and asked to delay all proceedings until the appeals court rules. The judge said a delay was unwarranted, especially since it would delay the case for a year or more.
