UPDATE: BLOUNTVILLE — In a sweeping ruling in favor of a multi-county lawsuit against pharmaceutical companies that produce opioids, a judge granted a summary judgment against those companies, but delayed any decision on monetary damages. In the ruling, filed in Sullivan County Circuit Court on Tuesday afternoon, Chancellor E.G. Moody granted a default judgment against Endo Health Solutions Inc. and Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. in the case of Staubus vs. Purdue, widely recognized as the Sullivan Baby Doe suit. Moody’s ruling did not assess damages in the case, but said that will be determined at a later date with a damages trial. The judgment details a dozen false statements Endo’s attorneys made to the court, describes a “coordinated strategy between Endo and its counsel to … interfere with the administration of justice,” and holds the companies liable for damages sought, an amount that totals $2.4 billion.
