The trial between Elon Musk and Twitter has just been announced by a judge.
The world’s richest man and the social media company will be in court for four days between 17 October and 21 October.
Twitter is trying to force the billionaire to make good on his April promise to buy the company for $44bn (£37bn).
The company wanted the billionaire to be tried in court at the earliest possible date - which would have been in September - while Mr Musk wanted the trial in February 2023.
Twitter filed to sue Mr Musk earlier this month, arguing the tech billionaire is legally bound to carry out the purchase despite claims from the Tesla chief executive that the number of bots on the platforms was misrepresented to him and therefore he is within his rights to walk away from the deal.
