Next stop - September 30th?

The apparent goal of next Thursday's hearing before Justice Thomas McEwen was revealed this week when the "motion record" of one of the 3 tobacco companies currently granted insolvency protection by that court was made public.

The companies are now asking for a (further) 6-plus month period in which all lawsuits against the will be frozen.  extension of the stay on all lawsuits against them. The current stay expires on March 12, and they are asking for it to be extended to September 30.

Such a request usually triggers the filing of financial data and other information in the monitor's reports. More to come!
