Given that representation, defendant is ordered to inform the Court by Wednesday, May 6, 2020 whether, assuming it is permitted to use the emails as evidence in litigation and arbitration, it is willing to agree not to use the emails or any information contained in any attachments to the emails for any business purpose, including the solicitation or performance of work for the plaintiffs' law firm that inadvertently sent the emails, or any other customer until the case has been resolved on the merits.
