Judge Beyer
CHARLOTTE, N.C – Asbestos lawyers want U.S. District Judge Robert Conrad to keep a Georgia Pacific entity from hunting for double recoveries among 15,000 individuals who filed injury claims in trusts and courts.
On April 7, they appealed an order of bankruptcy judge Laura Beyer that would require answers to questions of debtor Bestwall LLC about trust payments.
Beyer found the information necessary for estimating future litigation liability.
A committee of plaintiff lawyers in her court lost an argument that Bestwall should base its estimate on Georgia Pacific’s litigation history.
Bestwall prevailed on an argument that Georgia Pacific would have paid less if it had recovered setoffs from plaintiffs who received trust payments.
