LGN Team Earns Final Approval of $125 Million Settlement.(1/11/2011)
 

Lockridge Grindal Nauen P.L.L.P. is proud to announce that due to the hard work of Craig Davis, Elizabeth Odette, Connie Hartel, Matt Johnson, Kelly LeRoy and Barb Gilles final approval of the $125 million settlement in Kitec Plumbing MDL was granted. The case was long and had many interesting procedural twists including the joint U.S. and Canadian approval process (it is a cross-jurisdictional settlement approved by the MDL Court, the Ontario Court and the Quebec Court) and the unsuccessful attempt by some 265 insurers to effectuate a blanket opt out of all insured homeowners. The work will continue until approximately 2020 as building owners make claims on the settlement fund.
