Asbestos Related Bankruptcies
Barbanti v. W.R. Grace, No. 00201756-6 (Wash. Super. Ct.) - Washington statewide class action involving homeowners potentially exposed to asbestos in Zonolite Attic Insulation. Designed notice program to alert residents and inform them of their rights in a class certified for trial.
Babcock & Wilcox, No. 00-10992 (E.D. La.) - Designed and implemented the notice program—the first multi-national bar date notice program—which primarily targeted men who worked around B&W commercial boilers. The extensive notice program included network television, magazines, and newspaper coverage throughout the U.S. and Canada, plus notices in key geographic targets such as the U.K. and the Philippines.
In re Pittsburgh Corning Corp., No. 00-22876-JKF (Bankr. W.D. Pa.) - Rather than relying on traditional national newspaper appearances for this notice program, which had to alert holders of certain claims of their rights and options under the proposed Plan of Reorganization, we published notices in leading publications among the target demographic of older men who had worked around the products years earlier. This program was proven to be more efficient and less costly than newspapers. Judicial Comments
