West Virginia Asbestos Plaintiffs Must Disclose Bankruptcy Trust Information
Score one for transparency and fairness in the Mountain State.
The West Virginia Record reported in this article on March 3 that Circuit Judge Ronald Wilson has now ordered that all asbestos plaintiffs in West Virginia must henceforth disclose which bankruptcy trusts they have communicated with and against which trusts they might have a claim. The purpose of the order is to ensure that defendants in asbestos cases receive proper credit when plaintiffs are paid by trusts of bankrupt defendants.
