Tort Claimants Can't Alter Committee Makeup In Cyprus Ch. 11
Law360 (May 18, 2021, 4:08 PM EDT) -- A Delaware bankruptcy judge Tuesday denied a request by a group of talc personal injury claimants to change the makeup of the tort claimants committee in Cyprus Mines Corp.'s Chapter 11, saying she did not see any conflicts of interest involving its current members.
While U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Laurie Selber Silverstein expressed concern that committee members may be delegating their responsibilities to their counsel, the fact that those attorneys also represent parties involved in the creation of a settlement with Cyprus parent Imerys Talc America does not in and of itself create a conflict of interest, she ruled.
