Speakers
Description
Companies facing mass tort litigation continue to seek relief in the bankruptcy courts, and courts continue to face issues in balancing the rights of debtors, creditors, and insurers. The presenters will examine how courts have implemented and applied the U.S. Supreme Court’s two key decisions from 2024 impacting mass tort bankruptcies (Purdue Pharma and Truck Insurance), sometimes reaching conflicting results, and review developments in the talc arena, including the fallout from the dismissal of J&J’s third attempt to resolve ovarian cancer claims in Chapter 11. They will also discuss key events in sexual abuse related bankruptcies, including Boy Scouts of America and cases filed by Catholic dioceses and religious orders.
