Imperial Tobacco files request for U.S. recognition of settlement plan

 Following a similar request by JTI earlier this summer, last week Imperial Tobacco submitted its request to a New York Court for "Recognition and Enforcement of the Orders of the Canadian Court".

The hearing is scheduled for "August 26, 2025 at 11:00 a.m., prevailing Eastern Time" before Honorable John P. Mastando III of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

This is only 3 days before the day on which the implementation was earlier suggested to take place - and which is still suggested on the website for claims related to the Quebec class of victims.
